Type Of Cable; Relations Between Core Diameter Of Cable And Maximum Cable Length - Aiphone AN-8000 Operating Instructions Manual

4.5. Type of Cable

The types of cables are to be determined according to the following conditions.
Twisted pair wires (such as those used for electronic push-button telephone) are to be used for wiring
between the Exchange and the stations, and for connections at the Multi interface unit's audio input/output
terminals and PBX interface terminals in principle.
UTP category 5 Straight through cables with RJ45 connector are to be used for wiring the equipment
connected to IP network.
The number of cables pairs laid should be determined considering the possibility of future expansion of the
system.
Outdoor wires should be used where wiring passes through inaccessible areas such as ceilings or under
floors where the maintenance is not performed. Indoor wires may also be used, however, in case where there
is no risk of deterioration due to exposure to heat, etc.
