Product Usage Instructions

Ensure that you have the required infrastructure for the product usage:
- An analogue environment or a site with limited IP infrastructure
- A two-wire or coaxial cable
Choose a suitable location for installation, considering the reach and compatibility of the product.
Connect the Ethernet Interface:
- Use an RJ45 connector to connect the two-wire or coaxial cable to the Ethernet device you want to connect.
- Ensure the connection speed is set to match the Ethernet device’s capability (10/100 Base T, half-duplex / full-duplex).
- If your Ethernet device requires power over Ethernet (PoE), make sure it is compatible with IEEE 802.3af/at and PoE+ standards.
Connect the Extension Cable Interface:
- Use a 2-wire, Cat 5e, Cat 6, or similar cable to extend the reach of your IP-connected devices.
- Ensure the impedance of the cable falls within the range of 25 to 100 ohms.
- The maximum transfer range achievable with Cat 6 cable is 220 m (720 ft).
- Set the access method to CSMA/CA and TDMA, and the modulation method to Windowed OFDM.
- The frequency band should be set between 1.8 MHz and 30 MHz.
Power Supply:
- Connect the included adapter to an AC power source with an input voltage ranging from 100 to 240 VAC and a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz.
- Ensure the DC output of the adapter is 48 VDC with a current rating between 0.84 A and 1.3 A.
- Make sure the electrical characteristics of the power supply are within the specified range (Uin < 1.1V (L), Uin > 3V (H), max. Uin = 32V).
Observe the LED indicator lights to monitor the power supply, BNC, and PoE status.
Enjoy reliable Ethernet connectivity and extended reach for your IP-connected devices in analogue or limited IP infrastructure environments.

2N® 2Wire

2N® 2Wire is a converter that allows you to connect any IP device in places without an IP infrastructure. You only need to use the existing cable wiring from a doorbell or telephone. What’s more, one cable is all you need for both data transfer and power supply.

Buildings with analogue infrastructure
Sites with limited IP infrastructure

Ethernet including PoE over 2 wires
Connect any IP device using a two-wire or coaxial cable, even in an analogue environment, or a site with limited IP infrastructure.

Easy installation
No more conﬁguring! At each end of the cable you just plug in one 2N® 2Wire unit and connect at least one of them to a power source.

Long reach
Powering the IP-connected devices via PoE is possible up to a distance of 220 m, twice the maximum Ethernet speciﬁcation cable length.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Universal Ethernet ‘extension’
With 2N® 2Wire you’ll get Ethernet even in places with no IP network. You can hook up any IP devices, e.g. 2N IP intercoms.
Robust aluminium housing
Thanks to its aluminium housing the 2N® 2Wire converter is rugged and resistant to mechanical damage.
Utilize existing cabling
2N® 2Wire enables you to make use of existing wiring. You won’t have to lay new cables or do construction work.
Reliability
The converter will not let you down. It is signiﬁcantly more reliable, in comparison withalternatives, such as a WiFi connection.
Screw-in connectors
2N® 2Wire uses high-quality connectors, which prevents cables from falling out, giving you even more reliability.
Power supply
Included is an adapter with a selectable US/UK/EU plug.
