2N 01293-001 IP Verso 1 Module Backplate
Overview
The 2N 01293-001 is a specialized mounting backplate designed to solve a real installation problem: traditional wall-mounted access control and intercom modules don't work on glass, curved walls, or uneven architectural surfaces. This backplate extends your deployment options by enabling single-module mounting in locations where standard surface installation fails.
If your facility has glass vestibules, curved elevator lobbies, or textured architectural elements, the 01293-001 (often searched as 01293 001) bridges that gap without requiring custom fabrication or workarounds. It integrates seamlessly with the 2N IP Verso intercom and access control system line, maintaining the same industrial-grade reliability expected from 2N hardware.
Key Features
- Single-module capacity: Mounts one 2N IP module. Keeps your configuration straightforward — you're not managing multiple backplate types or complex multi-unit layouts.
- Glass surface compatibility: Enables installation on transparent or translucent surfaces where adhesive or mechanical fastening to drywall is impossible. Critical for modern building entrances that prioritize aesthetics and sight lines.
- Uneven surface mounting: Works on curved walls, textured finishes, and irregular architectural elements. Avoids the cost and delay of structural modifications or custom bracketing.
- Secure mechanical attachment: Provides stable, tamper-resistant mounting — important for access control devices where physical security is a prerequisite.
- Integrated cable management: Designed to route power and network cabling without exposed runs or additional conduit work, reducing installation time and visual clutter.
- 2N system integration: Works with the full 2N IP Verso ecosystem, including audio handsets, call stations, and video intercoms — no proprietary adapters or compatibility gaps.
Integration & Compatibility
The 01293-001 is purpose-built for 2N IP Verso modules. Confirm your module form factor and mechanical footprint against the backplate before ordering — not all 2N modules share identical mounting geometry. Pair this with 2N IP camera and access control platforms that support ONVIF integration for downstream system compatibility.
Installation requires basic hand tools and understanding of your building's surface material (tempered glass, acrylic, polycarbonate, or treated plaster all behave differently under load). Consult your site engineer or 2N technical support if mounting to specialty surfaces like honeycomb composite or pre-cast concrete.
Common Deployment Scenarios
Glass vestibule entry: Single intercom or access reader at the outer door without drilling into frameless glass or requiring roof-mounted solutions.
Curved architectural walls: Elevator lobbies or atrium spaces where traditional surface-mounted boxes sit proud of the wall — the backplate conforms to the contour, improving both security and aesthetics.
High-traffic public facilities: Libraries, transit stations, or corporate lobbies where a wall-mounted access control module would be unsightly or obstruct sightlines. The backplate mounts flush to architectural elements, maintaining design intent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I mount the 01293-001 to standard drywall?
A: Yes, but it's designed for non-standard surfaces (glass, uneven finishes). Standard wall mounting works fine, but a direct surface mount to drywall is simpler and less expensive. Use the backplate when traditional mounting fails.
Q: Does the backplate support multiple modules?
A: No. The 01293-001 is single-module only. For multi-module configurations, check 2N's multi-module backplate options or consult the technical datasheet.
Q: What tools do I need to install this?
A: Installation depends on your surface type. Glass may require adhesive or mechanical clips; uneven surfaces may need shims or custom fastening. Have a site engineer assess the mounting location before purchasing.
Q: Is the backplate weatherproof?
A: The backplate itself is mechanically protective, but weather sealing depends on the module installed and how you seal cable entry points. For outdoor glass installations, confirm IP rating requirements with 2N support.
Q: Does this work with legacy 2N modules?
A: Only with 2N IP Verso modules. Older analog or IP intercom lines may have different mounting geometry. Check your module's compatibility before ordering.

The 2N 01293-001 solves a specific installation constraint: mounting IP intercom or access control modules where standard surface mounting isn't an option. I've seen projects delayed or redesigned because a wall-mounted module sat proud of a glass vestibule or wouldn't conform to a curved architectural surface. The 01293-001 eliminates that friction — it's not a universal backplate, but for the buildings where it applies, it's the right tool.
Technical Highlights:
- Single-module form factor: Keeps the bill of materials simple and installation predictable. You're not juggling multiple backplate SKUs or managing compatibility across different module types.
- Glass and uneven surface support: Directly addresses two installation scenarios where traditional wall-mounted hardware fails. No custom fabrication, no structural modifications required.
- 2N IP Verso integration: Works within the established 2N ecosystem — standard cabling, power delivery, and firmware compatibility. No proprietary adapters or integration surprises.
Deployment Considerations:
- Surface prep is critical: Glass mounting requires either adhesive-backed hardware or mechanical fastening (clips, suction cups, or adhesive). Uneven surfaces may need shims or pilot holes. Assess your specific surface before purchase — a poor surface prep leads to failed installation or module dropout.
- Single-module-only limitation: If you need to stack multiple readers or handsets, you'll need either additional backplates or a multi-module variant. Confirm your module count early in the design phase.
- Weather sealing is on you: The backplate provides mechanical protection, but cable entry points and seams require attention, especially for outdoor glass installations. Plan your weatherproofing strategy upfront.
Deploy the 01293-001 when traditional wall mounting fails — glass vestibules, curved lobby walls, or high-visibility public spaces where a surface-mounted box would break the architectural line. It's a fit-for-purpose accessory, not a universal solution. Confirm module compatibility and surface type before ordering.
