Akuvox NC-2 2-Wire IP Network Converter
The Akuvox NC-2 is an Ethernet-to-2-wire converter that extends the reach of a 2-wire intercom installation, letting a compatible door phone or monitor connect over a longer run of existing 2-wire cabling. It supports PoE output for the connected device, and can be used paired with an Akuvox NS-2 switch or on its own, powered by 48V DC.

2-Wire Converter
PoE Output for Connected Devices
Delivers Power over Ethernet to the connected door phone or monitor at the far end of the 2-wire run.
Long Transmission Distance
Extends 2-wire IP intercom signal further than a direct connection, suited to larger retrofit buildings.
Standalone or Paired with NS-2
Works on its own with its own 48VDC power unit, or paired with an Akuvox NS-2 switch for larger installations.
Compact Form Factor
Small 113 x 48 x 25mm enclosure fits easily into a riser cupboard, ceiling void, or equipment cabinet.

Detailed Breakdown
Ethernet to 2-Wire Conversion: Converts a standard 10/100Mbps Ethernet connection into a 2-wire IP signal, letting compatible door phones and monitors run over existing 2-wire cabling instead of new network cable.
PoE Output for the Far-End Device: Supplies Power over Ethernet to the connected door phone or monitor at the far end of the 2-wire run, so a separate local power supply usually isn’t needed at that device.
Long Transmission Distance: Extends the practical reach of a 2-wire installation beyond what a direct NS-2 connection can cover, useful in larger or multi-level retrofit buildings.
Standalone or Paired with NS-2: Can run independently with its own 48VDC power unit, or be paired with an Akuvox NS-2 switch to extend that switch’s reach further into a building.
Compact, Rack/Cupboard-Friendly Size: At 113 x 48 x 25mm, the NC-2 fits easily into a riser cupboard, ceiling void, or comms cabinet without needing dedicated equipment space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q&A
The NC-2 converts a standard Ethernet connection to a 2-wire signal, extending the reach of a 2-wire intercom installation. It’s used in retrofit projects where existing 2-wire cabling needs to cover a longer distance than a direct connection allows.
The NS-2 is the main 2-wire switch, connecting up to 6 Akuvox 2-wire intercom devices such as the R20A-2, R20K-2, and S562W-2. The NC-2 is a smaller Ethernet-to-2-wire converter that can extend a single connection further, either used with an NS-2 for a longer overall reach, or on its own for a single-device connection.
It can be powered by its own 48VDC power supply unit when used standalone, or draw power through a paired Akuvox NS-2 switch. Either way, it then supplies PoE output to the connected door phone or monitor.
The NC-2 is designed to work with Akuvox’s 2-wire product range, including the R20A-2 and R20K-2 door phones and the S562W-2 indoor monitor, as part of a complete 2-wire intercom retrofit.
Its compact 113 x 48 x 25mm size makes it easy to fit into a riser cupboard, ceiling void, or comms cabinet along the intercom cable run. Sipko Security determines the best placement as part of the installation design.
