7-Conductor Configuration

The 85220710C provides seven individual 22 AWG conductors within one cable, making it well suited for compatible Aiphone systems requiring multiple audio, communication, paging, or control connections.

Using a single multi-conductor cable can simplify installation compared with running multiple individual wire pairs.

Low-Capacitance Construction

The 85220710C is designed as a low-capacitance communication cable.

Aiphone specifies approximately:

16.5 pF/ft

Low-capacitance construction helps maintain signal quality over the distances specified for compatible Aiphone equipment.

Color-Coded for MC Series

The individual conductors are color-coded to correspond with Aiphone MC Series wiring, helping simplify installation, troubleshooting, and replacement work in existing MarketCom systems.

This feature is particularly useful when servicing legacy commercial communication installations.

Compatible Aiphone Applications

Aiphone associates the 85220710C with compatible MC Series / MarketCom communication and paging equipment.

Related equipment includes select:

• MC-60/4A – MarketCom Handset

• MC-A/A – MarketCom Paging Adaptor

• MD35M – 35W Integrated Paging Amplifier

• MD60M – 60W Integrated Paging Amplifier

• MD120M – 120W Integrated Paging Amplifier

• Commercial paging systems

• Multi-station communication systems

• Internal communication systems

Always verify the conductor requirements and maximum wiring distance for the exact system being installed.

Commercial Paging Applications

The 85220710C is well suited for compatible Aiphone systems combining intercom communication with paging equipment.

Typical applications can include:

• Offices

• Warehouses

• Manufacturing facilities

• Schools

• Healthcare facilities

• Distribution centers

• Security offices

• Commercial paging systems

• Existing MarketCom installations

Cable Ratings

The 85220710C carries multiple low-voltage cable classifications:

CL3 – Class 3 low-voltage circuit cable
FPL – Power-limited fire alarm cable
CM – General-purpose communications cable

Always verify local electrical and building-code requirements before installation.

Aiphone-Approved Cable

Aiphone communication equipment can depend on specific cable characteristics including:

• Wire gauge

• Conductor count

• Solid versus stranded construction

• Capacitance

• Resistance

• Shielding

• Maximum wiring distance

Using manufacturer-specified wire helps maintain proper system performance and simplifies troubleshooting.

Important Installation Note

The 85220710C is non-shielded and non-plenum rated.

Do not substitute it for applications specifically requiring:

• Shielded cable

• Plenum-rated cable

• Direct-burial cable

• CAT-5e or CAT-6

• Different conductor count

• Different wire gauge

Always follow the wiring diagram for the exact Aiphone equipment being installed.

Aiphone Warranty Advantage

When qualifying Aiphone products are installed using approved Aiphone wire according to manufacturer requirements, the applicable product warranty is extended by one additional year.
