- Description
Product Overview
The Akuvox NC-2 is a compact 2-wire IP network converter engineered to convert legacy two-wire infrastructure into fully functional IP network connections. By transmitting network data and power over simple existing wiring, it enables seamless upgrades from traditional analog intercoms to advanced IP door entry systems without requiring costly building rewiring.
Featuring built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) output, the NC-2 delivers both IP data and operating power to end-point devices like standard IP video door phones via a single Ethernet connection. It can operate in tandem with a second NC-2 unit or integrate directly with an Akuvox NS-2 network switch, making it an extraordinarily flexible adapter for residential retrofits and heritage property modernisations. Supplied directly through Total Security Equipment.
Key Capabilities
Ethernet over 2-Wire Bridging
Converts standard IP/Ethernet signals to pass across legacy 2-core cabling, enabling modern IP device integration over vintage wiring.
PoE Output Power Delivery
Outputs Power over Ethernet (PoE) to connected devices, supplying both operational power and network data over a single network patch cable.
NS-2 Switch & Point-to-Point Integration
Pairs seamlessly with an Akuvox NS-2 2-wire switch or operates as a point-to-point pair with another NC-2 unit for extended topology setups.
Long-Distance Transmission
Supports extended transmission ranges across 2-wire lines, allowing stable IP connectivity for distant gates or multi-story structures.
Ultra-Compact Footprint
Slim physical design (113 x 48 x 25 mm) allows easy tuck-in mounting behind wall plates, flush boxes, or tight junction cabinets.
Adaptable Power Configurations
Operates using an external 48V DC power supply or receives power directly from an upstream Akuvox NS-2 switch unit.
Best For
Allows standard PoE IP door stations (e.g., R29C) to operate on 2-wire cable infrastructure.
Converts legacy bell-wire setups into modern IP networks without tearing open walls or conduits.
Small form factor fits conveniently inside backboxes, flush boxes, or ceiling cavities.
Acts as an interface module to bring standard RJ45 IP endpoints into an Akuvox 2-wire network topology.
Why Choose the NC-2
The Akuvox NC-2 acts as a versatile bridge between traditional 2-wire wiring and modern IP intercoms. By delivering PoE output over legacy cable runs, it opens up the entire catalog of standard IP door stations and monitors for use in retrofit installations, eliminating the labor and expense of pulling new network cables.

Ideal Use Cases
Standard IP Door Station Retrofits
Allows high-end standard IP intercoms (like the Akuvox R29C) to operate on pre-existing 2-wire physical infrastructure.
Point-to-Point Long Distance Bridging
Uses a pair of NC-2 converters to pass Ethernet data across long legacy two-conductor cable runs between distant points.
Integrated NS-2 System Expansion
Plugs directly into an Akuvox NS-2 2-wire switch port to convert the signal back into standard PoE RJ45 at the door phone location.
Heritage & Solid-Wall Retrofits
Eliminates intrusive wall cutting and conduit installations by making full use of legacy bell wires or telephone pairs.
Choosing the Right Model
Choose this model (NC-2) if…
- You need to connect a standard Ethernet/PoE IP device over existing 2-wire cabling.
- You want a compact adapter that fits behind a wall box or intercom backplate.
- You are integrating standard IP door phones into an Akuvox NS-2 2-wire switch setup.
Choose a different model if…
- You need a multi-port central switch. Select the Akuvox NS-2 switch which provides 6 pairs of 2-wire connection ports.
- You are using native 2-wire devices. Dedicated 2-wire models like the R20A-2 or C313W-2 connect directly to 2-wire ports without an NC-2 converter.
FAQs
1. What is the primary function of the Akuvox NC-2 converter?
The Akuvox NC-2 converts Ethernet network data to pass over 2-wire cables while providing PoE power output to connected standard IP devices.
2. Does the NC-2 supply power to the connected intercom?
Yes, it supports PoE output, passing both data and power through a single Ethernet patch cable to the connected IP device.
3. Can the NC-2 be used with the Akuvox NS-2 switch?
Yes, it works in combination with the Akuvox NS-2 2-wire switch, allowing standard IP door phones or screens to link into an NS-2 system.
4. How is the NC-2 powered?
It can be powered either via an external 48V DC power supply unit or directly through its 2-wire connection to an NS-2 switch.
5. What are the physical dimensions of the NC-2?
It measures 113 x 48 x 25 mm, allowing it to easily fit within junction boxes, mounting backboxes, or tight wiring cavities.
6. Where can I buy genuine Akuvox network components in Australia?
Genuine Akuvox converters and 2-wire intercom accessories are supplied directly through Total Security Equipment.
