Patch panel module carrier S-Conn 19" for Keystone, unpopulated, 24-port, 1U short depth, black

The S-Conn 19" patch panel module carrier for Keystone is an unpopulated 24-port, 1U short-depth frame designed to hold Keystone jacks or couplers in a space-efficient 19" rack or cabinet. Its compact depth makes it suitable for installations where rack depth is limited while providing a standardized front for organizing network connections. The unit is finished in black and accepts industry-standard Keystone modules, enabling flexible port configurations for structured cabling and LAN deployments.

Advantages

This module carrier accommodates up to 24 Keystone ports in a single 1U footprint, maximizing port density in shallow racks. The unpopulated design allows installers to choose and place Keystone jacks or couplers according to project requirements. The short-depth housing reduces required rack depth without changing front-panel accessibility, and the black finish offers a neutral, professional appearance that integrates with common data room equipment.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling installations in small data closets or telecom rooms
• LAN patching and horizontal distribution in shallow or wall-mounted racks
• Modular deployments where specific Keystone jacks (Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A or multimedia couplers) are selected separately
• Retrofits and upgrades that require flexible port placement without replacing existing rack hardware

When it may not be suitable

This carrier is unpopulated and therefore does not include Keystone jacks, patch ports, or labeling inserts; purchasers must acquire compatible Keystone modules separately. For environments that require pre-populated or fully assembled patch panels with built-in termination and labeling, a preconfigured panel would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19" rack mount, 1U height
• Number of ports: up to 24 Keystone module positions
• Depth: short/compact rack depth suitable for limited-depth cabinets
• Compatibility: accepts standard Keystone jacks and couplers (various categories and types)
• Color and finish: black
• Mounting: front-mountable to standard 19" rack rails

How to use

Mount the S-Conn module carrier into a standard 19" rack or cabinet using the front mounting holes. Install the chosen Keystone jacks or couplers into the individual module openings until they snap into place. Route and terminate cabling to the rear of each Keystone module according to the connector type and cabling standards being used. Use appropriate cable management and labeling practices to maintain clarity and serviceability of patched connections.

What to consider before purchase

• Keystone modules and jacks are not included; verify required types (e.g., Cat6, Cat6A, multimedia) and purchase separately
• Confirm rack depth and available clearance to ensure the short-depth form factor meets installation requirements
• Plan for cable management and rear access for termination and maintenance
• Check compatibility of chosen Keystone modules with the carrier's module opening dimensions

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the carrier with compatible category-rated Keystone jacks and follow structured cabling standards for terminations and labeling. Use rear cable management arms or horizontal organizers when multiple carriers are installed to keep patching tidy and accessible.
