2N 01351-001 Gooseneck Stand for IP Intercoms
The 2N 01351-001 is a purpose-built mounting stand engineered for deployments where wall-mounted intercom placement won't work. Designed specifically for the 2N IP Force and 2N IP Safety intercom families, this gooseneck stand positions intercoms at driver eye-level — a critical detail for vehicle-to-staff communication at parking gates, toll booths, and vehicle checkpoints. Unlike generic mounting brackets, the 01351-001 addresses a specific pain point: achieving optimal microphone and speaker positioning without cutting into existing structures or relying on post-mounted hardware that may not be available on-site.
Key Features
- High-grade metal construction: Resists UV degradation and corrosion in outdoor environments — important because intercom stands at vehicle gates face continuous sunlight exposure and weather cycling. Metal durability means you won't need to re-mount or replace the stand every 2–3 years in harsh climates.
- Gooseneck geometry: The curved arm positions the intercom at driver's face height and angles it toward the vehicle window. This eliminates the need for drivers to lean out or crane their necks, reducing communication errors and speeding up checkpoint transactions.
- Stable base platform: A secured mounting foundation minimizes vibration and lateral movement — important at busy checkpoints where vehicle traffic generates vibration. A wobbly stand degrades audio quality and user confidence in the system.
- Vibration damping: The solid base reduces sympathetic vibration from passing traffic or heavy machinery, preserving audio clarity during peak-use periods.
- Designed for 2N IP Force and IP Safety models: Purpose-fit design ensures the stand accommodates the physical dimensions and weight of these specific intercom units without adapter plates or field-fabricated brackets.
- No wall or structural modification required: Ideal for temporary installations, leased properties, or locations where permanent wall mounting is prohibited or impractical.
Integration & Compatibility
The 01351-001 is engineered exclusively for 2N IP intercom systems, specifically the IP Force and IP Safety product lines. It does not support legacy analog intercoms or third-party intercom brands. If your deployment mixes intercom brands or includes older systems, verify compatibility before ordering. The stand is a passive mounting device — no electrical integration or PoE connection is required, simplifying installation on most jobsites.
Outdoor Durability & Installation Context
Vehicle checkpoint environments subject mounted hardware to temperature swings, salt spray (in coastal regions), dust, and direct UV. The high-grade metal construction of the 01351-001 is rated for these conditions. However, the stand is not submersible and should not be deployed in full-immersion applications (such as wash bays). For salt-fog or heavy industrial environments, consider specifying additional corrosion-resistant coatings or protective coverings during the initial installation planning phase. The stand's footprint and weight distribution should be verified against your site's floor conditions — uneven concrete or soft surfaces may require additional leveling or concrete anchoring.
Typical Deployments
Common use cases include residential and commercial gated community access gates, vehicle parking facility entry/exit points, drive-through security windows, toll booth positions, and commercial delivery checkpoints. The stand is particularly valuable where a wall-mounted intercom would require scaffolding to install or where the interior wall is unavailable or unsuitable for mounting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What intercom models does the 01351-001 support?
A: The 2N 01351-001 is designed for 2N IP Force and 2N IP Safety intercom units. Do not use with other 2N models or third-party brands without verifying mechanical fit first.
Q: Can I install the 01351-001 indoors?
A: Yes. While engineered for outdoor durability, the stand can be deployed indoors. The high-grade metal construction and gooseneck design work equally well in covered lobbies, interior access corridors, or reception areas where you need elevated positioning.
Q: Does the stand require electrical power or PoE?
A: No. The 01351-001 is a passive mechanical mount. Power and network connectivity are delivered directly to the intercom unit via its own PoE or power supply — the stand does not intercept or modify those connections.
Q: Is the gooseneck height adjustable?
A: The 01351-001 features a strategically curved gooseneck designed for driver eye-level positioning at standard vehicle window heights (approximately 3.5–4.5 feet). The geometry is fixed; it is not infinitely adjustable. Verify the stand's dimensions against your specific vehicle types and checkpoint layout before purchasing.
Q: What is the weight and footprint of the stand?
A: Specific weight and base dimensions are not detailed in the available technical documentation. Contact the manufacturer or your integrator for exact footprint and load specs to verify floor-mounting compatibility at your site.
Q: Can the stand be mounted on a pole or pedestal instead of the floor?
A: The 01351-001 is designed for floor or foundation mounting via its base plate. Pole or pedestal mounting would require field fabrication or adapter hardware not supplied by the manufacturer. Consult 2N or your systems integrator before attempting non-standard mounting.

I spec the 2N 01351-001 gooseneck stand for vehicle checkpoint installations where you need reliable driver-to-guard communication without drilling into existing structures. The stand's high-grade metal construction is built for outdoor exposure — not a minor detail when you're positioning an intercom at a gate or toll booth that faces direct sun, seasonal temperature swings, and potential salt spray in coastal sites.
Technical Highlights:
- Gooseneck geometry optimized for driver eye-level: Positions the 2N IP Force or IP Safety intercom at the window frame where drivers naturally look. This reduces positioning errors and speeds up transactions at busy checkpoints — a measurable improvement in throughput at high-traffic sites.
- High-grade metal construction: Rated for continuous outdoor exposure without repainting or replacement cycles. Contrast this with powder-coated steel brackets that degrade under UV and salt — the durability difference is significant over a 5–7 year deployment window.
- Stable base platform: Vibration isolation from vehicle traffic and machinery ensures audio clarity during peak-use periods. A wobbly mount degrades mic pickup and speaker output, increasing driver frustration and communication retries.
Deployment Considerations:
- The stand is fixed geometry — not continuously adjustable. Verify the gooseneck height and angle against your specific vehicle types (standard sedans, trucks, motorcycles) before purchase. If you have mixed vehicle classes, you may need a separate adjustable mounting solution for some positions.
- The 01351-001 requires concrete or solid foundation mounting via its base plate. Soft ground, asphalt, or uneven surfaces will introduce play and vibration — plan for concrete anchoring or pier mounting at rough-terrain sites.
- The stand is passive — no power, no network, no configuration. All PoE and data connectivity goes directly to the intercom unit itself. This simplifies installation but means you cannot remotely adjust the stand angle or height if positioning proves suboptimal after commission.
Deploy the 01351-001 at gated vehicle checkpoints, parking facility entry booths, and drive-through security windows where you need durable, fixed-height positioning and don't want to cut into walls or rely on temporary pole mounts. It's a solid choice for permanent or semi-permanent checkpoint installations in outdoor environments.
