Product SKU: 01288-001
Product Overview
The AXIS 2N 01288-001 is a black single-module surface-mount frame designed for compatible 2N modular intercom and access-control installations. Also identified as 2N part number 9155021B, the frame provides a neat surface-mounted enclosure format for one compatible module and measures approximately 107 mm wide, 130 mm high and 28 mm deep. It is particularly useful when adding a separate extension module to an existing installation or when a module needs to be positioned remotely using an extended interconnecting cable, such as an exit-side reader. The black brushed-steel finish is designed to match black 2N system components and provides a compact alternative to flush mounting where cutting a recess into the wall is undesirable. For glass or uneven surfaces, a suitable backplate is recommended separately.
Key Capabilities
Single-Module Surface Mounting
The frame is sized for one compatible 2N module and allows it to be installed directly on the surface rather than requiring a flush-mounted wall box. This is useful when wall construction or installation access makes recessed mounting impractical.
Suitable for System Expansion
2N specifically identifies the one-module surface frame as useful when adding an extra module to an existing installation. This allows an additional reader, keypad or other supported module to be positioned separately from the main intercom assembly when the system design requires it.
Extended-Cable Module Installation
The frame can be used where a compatible module is connected on an extended interconnecting cable. A common example is positioning a separate access reader on the exit side of an entrance while keeping it integrated with the wider modular 2N installation.
Black Brushed-Steel Finish
The black finish provides a consistent appearance when the frame is used with matching black 2N modular components. Its metal construction also provides a more substantial finished installation than leaving a functional module exposed without the correct mounting frame.
Compact Surface Profile
At approximately 107 × 130 × 28 mm, the single-module format keeps the installation compact while providing the required visible frame for one supported module. This makes it well suited to entrances where wall space around the access point is limited.
Best For
- Additional 2N modules: Useful when adding one separate supported module to an existing modular intercom or access-control installation.
- Surface-mounted entrances: Suitable where a recessed mounting box is not practical or desirable.
- Exit-side readers: Can be used where a supported reader is positioned away from the main entrance unit using extended interconnecting cabling.
- Black 2N installations: Matches the appearance of compatible black-finish modular components.
Why Choose the 01288-001
The 01288-001 is the appropriate choice when a single compatible 2N module needs to be surface mounted in a black frame rather than installed within a recessed wall assembly. Its compact one-module layout is particularly useful for system expansions, remotely positioned modules and exit-side readers, while the 107 × 130 × 28 mm profile keeps the installation relatively unobtrusive. Unlike improvised mounting arrangements, the purpose-designed frame maintains the intended modular appearance of the 2N system. Available through Security Wholesalers, it is best selected alongside the exact intercom, keypad or reader module being installed so the colour, module count and mounting format are confirmed before installation.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This product is the surface-mount frame only. It does not include an intercom, access reader, keypad, host unit or functional extension module. Confirm the exact 2N module required for the installation separately.
Buyer Tip: For installations on glass or uneven surfaces, use a suitable compatible backplate rather than assuming the frame alone will provide the correct mounting surface. The backplate is a separate accessory and should be matched to the exact installation.

Ideal Use Cases
Additional Access Module
Surface mount one additional compatible 2N module separately from an existing modular entrance assembly.
Exit-Side Reader
Use with a compatible reader positioned on an extended interconnecting cable where access functionality is required on the opposite side of the entrance.
Existing System Expansion
Add another supported module without rebuilding the existing main intercom into a larger multi-module frame.
Surface-Only Installations
Suitable where cutting a recessed mounting cavity into the wall is impractical and a surface-mounted format is preferred.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose 01288-001 if: You need a black surface-mount frame for one compatible 2N module.
- Choose a larger surface frame if: Two or three modules need to sit together in the same surface-mounted assembly.
- Choose a flush-mount frame if: The installation is being recessed into the wall rather than installed directly on the surface.
- Add a backplate if required: Glass or uneven mounting surfaces may require a separate compatible backplate.
FAQs
- What is AXIS 2N 01288-001 used for?
The AXIS 2N 01288-001 is a black single-module surface-mount frame for compatible 2N modular intercom and access-control installations. It provides the visible mounting frame for one module when surface installation is required. It is particularly useful when adding an additional module to an existing system or mounting a separate module on an extended interconnecting cable. - Is AXIS 01288-001 the same as 2N part number 9155021B?
Yes. Axis part number 01288-001 corresponds to 2N part number 9155021B. Both references identify the black one-module surface-mount frame. This is useful when matching current Axis ordering references with older 2N documentation, existing installations or distributor listings that may still identify the accessory using the original 2N part number. - What size is the AXIS 2N 01288-001 surface frame?
The visible dimensions are approximately 107 mm wide, 130 mm high and 28 mm deep. This compact single-module format is intended for one compatible 2N module. Before ordering, check the available wall space and confirm that the selected intercom or access-control module is intended for the one-module surface-mount format. - Can the 01288-001 frame be used when adding an extra module to an existing 2N installation?
Yes. 2N specifically lists the one-module surface frame as suitable when an additional module is added to an existing installation. It can also be used when a module is mounted on an extended interconnecting cable, such as a separate exit-side reader. The required module, cabling and host system are not implied to be included with the frame. - Does AXIS 01288-001 include an intercom or reader module?
No. AXIS 01288-001 is the black surface-mount frame only. The intercom, access reader, keypad or other functional module must be selected separately according to the system design. When planning the installation through Security Wholesalers, confirm the exact 2N module and host platform so the mounting format, colour and module count all match. - Can AXIS 01288-001 be installed on glass or an uneven surface?
The surface frame is intended for wall-mounted surface installation. For glass or uneven mounting surfaces, product guidance recommends using a suitable backplate. This helps provide a more appropriate mounting surface for the frame and installed module. The backplate is a separate accessory and should be selected only after confirming compatibility with the exact 2N installation.
