Plenum-Rated Construction

The 871804P50C is designed for installations requiring CMP plenum-rated communication cable.

Plenum-rated cable is commonly required when low-voltage wiring passes through environmental air-handling spaces such as:

• Above suspended ceilings used for air return

• HVAC plenum areas

• Air-handling cavities

• Commercial building return-air spaces

Always verify applicable electrical, fire, and building-code requirements for the installation.

Four-Conductor Configuration

The 871804P50C provides four individual 18 AWG conductors, making it suitable for compatible Aiphone equipment requiring multiple communication or control connections within a single cable.

Using one four-conductor cable can simplify installation compared with running multiple separate conductors.

18 AWG Solid Conductors

The cable uses 18 AWG solid conductors, providing relatively low electrical resistance for compatible intercom communication circuits.

Aiphone specifies:

6.8 Ohms per 1,000 ft at 68°F

Proper wire gauge is important for maintaining system performance over the maximum distances specified by Aiphone.

Mid-Capacitance Design

Aiphone’s current specifications classify the 871804P50C as a mid-capacitance, non-shielded cable.

Specified capacitance is approximately:

23.6 pF/ft

Using the correct capacitance and conductor configuration helps ensure proper operation of compatible Aiphone intercom and video systems.

FT-6 – Plenum flame and smoke performance classification

Aiphone-Approved Cable

Aiphone systems may depend on specific cable characteristics including:

• Wire gauge

• Number of conductors

• Solid versus stranded construction

• Shielding

• Capacitance

• Resistance

• Plenum rating

• Maximum wiring distance

Using the cable specified by Aiphone helps maintain proper system performance and installation reliability.

Important Installation Note

The 871804P50C is non-shielded plenum cable.

Do not substitute it where the system specifically requires:

• Shielded cable

• CAT-5e or CAT-6

• Direct-burial cable

• Different conductor count

• Different wire gauge

Always follow the installation instructions for the exact Aiphone system.

Ideal Applications

• Commercial offices

• Schools and universities

• Healthcare facilities

• Government buildings

• Apartment buildings

• Multi-tenant facilities

• Video intercom systems

• Door-entry systems

• Plenum ceiling installations
