Axis 2N NVT PhyLink Adapter Kit 6-Pack 2-Wire to Ethernet RJ-45 Black Access Control

Product Overview

For installers working on multi-entry or multi-apartment projects where re-cabling is not practical, the 2N NVT PhyLink Adapter Kit gives existing 2-wire telephone infrastructure a second life as an IP-capable Ethernet backbone for 2N intercom and access control systems. Supplied as a 6-pack of adapters, the kit is designed to work in conjunction with the 2N NVT Switch (02318-001), converting 2-wire connections to standard RJ-45 Ethernet at each door or unit endpoint. Each adapter draws a maximum of 0.9W, keeping the installation low-impact on existing wiring. Built from durable plastic in a compact black housing, the adapters operate between 0°C and 40°C with a humidity tolerance of 10% to 95% non-condensing. This makes the kit well suited to internal corridors, plant rooms, and communications risers in residential and commercial buildings where pulling new Cat cable throughout the structure would be cost-prohibitive.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Retrofit Intercom Upgrades: Buildings with existing 2-wire telephone infrastructure can be upgraded to IP-based 2N intercom systems without full cable replacement, with each adapter handling one endpoint conversion.
• Multi-Tenancy Residential Projects: The 6-pack quantity aligns with apartment block and strata installations where multiple units or entry points need to be connected across a single installation run.
• Commercial Access Control Deployments: Multi-door office or facility access control projects using 2N hardware benefit from the validated compatibility with the 2N NVT Switch ecosystem and the low power draw per adapter.

Why Choose the 2N NVT PhyLink Adapter Kit

The 02319-001 addresses one of the most common cost barriers in access control and intercom upgrades: the assumption that moving to an IP system requires a full cable replacement. By converting the existing 2-wire telephone cabling to Ethernet at each endpoint, the adapters allow 2N IP intercoms and access controllers to operate on infrastructure that is already in the walls. The 6-pack format makes this practical for multi-door and multi-apartment projects rather than single-entry jobs, reducing per-unit procurement steps. Validated compatibility with the 2N NVT Switch (02318-001) means installers are working within a tested Axis 2N solution stack rather than assembling an untested combination of components. The compact black plastic housing and low 0.9W power draw keep the adapters unobtrusive in comms risers and patch rooms. The kit is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the 2N access control range.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose this model if: Your project involves an existing building with 2-wire telephone cabling and you are deploying 2N IP intercom or access control devices across 6 or more connection points, using the 2N NVT Switch (02318-001) as the central switching unit.
• Choose a different model if: Your installation site already has Cat5e or Cat6 cabling run to each door or unit endpoint, in which case the adapters provide no benefit and standard Ethernet-connected 2N hardware can be used directly.
• Consider quantity carefully: The kit supplies 6 adapters. If your project requires fewer endpoints, assess whether a smaller quantity option is available. If you need more than 6 endpoints, multiple kits will need to be ordered to cover all locations.

FAQs

1. What does the 2N NVT PhyLink Adapter actually do?
   It converts a 2-wire connection to a standard RJ-45 Ethernet interface at each endpoint. This allows IP-based 2N intercom and access control devices to communicate over existing 2-wire telephone cabling in a building, rather than requiring new Ethernet cable runs. The adapter is used in conjunction with the 2N NVT Switch (02318-001), which acts as the central hub for the converted connections.
2. Does this kit include the 2N NVT Switch?
   No. The 02319-001 kit contains 6 PhyLink adapters only. The 2N NVT Switch (02318-001) is a separate product and must be purchased alongside this kit to complete the 2-wire to Ethernet conversion system. Both components are required for the solution to function.
3. Can these adapters be used outdoors or in unventilated plant rooms?
   The adapters are rated for indoor use with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and operating humidity of 10% to 95% non-condensing. They are not suitable for outdoor enclosures, locations exposed to condensation, or plant rooms that regularly exceed 40°C. Installation inside conditioned comms risers or indoor wall-mount locations is recommended.
4. How much power does each adapter consume?
   Each adapter draws a maximum of 0.9W. Across a full 6-pack deployment, the combined maximum draw is 5.4W. This low power consumption means the adapters have minimal impact on the overall power budget of the NVT Switch installation and do not require dedicated power supplies at each endpoint.
5. What type of 2-wire cabling is compatible with these adapters?
   The adapters are designed to work with standard 2-wire telephone cabling infrastructure. For confirmed cable type compatibility and maximum recommended cable run lengths, refer to the 2N NVT Switch product documentation (02318-001), as cabling performance is a function of the switch and adapter pairing rather than the adapter alone.
6. Where can I purchase the 02319-001 adapter kit and the compatible NVT Switch?
   Both the 02319-001 PhyLink Adapter Kit and the companion 2N NVT Switch (02318-001) are part of the Security Wholesalers range of Axis 2N access control products. Contact Security Wholesalers directly to confirm current stock and to discuss project quantities if you require multiple kits for a larger deployment.

Cabling Considerations

• Cable Type: Standard 2-wire telephone cabling (existing building infrastructure). The adapters are specifically designed to repurpose 2-wire telephone cable runs rather than requiring new Ethernet cable to each endpoint.
• Ethernet Connection: Each adapter provides a single RJ-45 interface for connection to the 2N intercom or access control device at the endpoint. Use standard Cat5e or Cat6 patch cable for the short run between the adapter and the IP device.
• Maximum Cable Run: Maximum 2-wire run length is determined by the 2N NVT Switch (02318-001) specifications. Refer to the NVT Switch documentation for confirmed maximum distances, as this governs the overall system reach.
• Wiring Tips: Plan adapter placement close to each door or unit endpoint to minimise the Ethernet patch run length. Confirm all 2-wire pairs are correctly terminated and free of shorts or open circuits before commissioning. The adapters must be used as a matched pair with the NVT Switch – do not mix with third-party 2-wire conversion hardware.
