Patch Panel 24xTP-TP Couplers CAT6A with Keystone, 19" 1U, Synergy21 S216320/S216317V4, black is a 19-inch, 1U rack-mount patch panel that provides 24 TP-TP coupler ports rated for CAT6A performance. Supplied with keystone modules, it offers a compact structured cabling interface for high-speed Ethernet links, enabling orderly connection and routing of twisted-pair copper cables in server rooms, network racks and telecom cabinets. The black metal housing and standard 1U height allow integration into common rack systems while keeping front access to all copper ports.
Advantages
The patch panel supports CAT6A-class connections across all 24 ports, which helps maintain signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and reduces crosstalk compared with lower-category panels. Inclusion of keystone modules simplifies port termination and allows use of standard keystone jacks for easy replacement or reconfiguration. The 19" 1U form factor is compatible with standard rack-mounted installations, saving space and providing a centralized point for cable management and labeling.
Suitable for
- Data center and server rack cable management for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
- Telecom cabinets and network closets requiring CAT6A-rated copper interfaces
- Office and enterprise LANs where a 1U rack-mounted patching solution is needed
- Environments that benefit from keystone modularity for quick jack swaps or upgrades
When it may not be suitable
This panel is intended for copper twisted-pair networks and does not provide fiber optic ports or media conversion. It may not be appropriate where direct fiber terminations or SFP-based patching are required. Also, if more than 24 ports or a different rack unit height is needed, a larger or differently sized panel should be considered.
Key specifications

- Category performance: CAT6A
- Form factor: 19" rack-mount, 1U height
- Mounting: front-access rack panel for standard 19" racks
- Material and color: metal chassis, black finish
- Keystone compatibility: supplied with keystone modules for modular jacks
How to use
Install the patch panel into a standard 19" rack occupying a single U of space and secure it with appropriate rack screws. Fit the supplied keystone jacks into the front coupler openings if not pre-installed. Terminate network cables to the keystone jacks following the wiring colour code for CAT6A (T568A or T568B) and ensure proper cable shielding and pair twisting are maintained to meet performance expectations. Use cable management accessories and labeling to keep connections organized and accessible for maintenance.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure your rack has available 1U space and standard 19" mounting rails
- Confirm that CAT6A performance is required for your network speed and distance
- Verify whether modular keystone jacks supplied match the connector type you plan to use
- Consider cable management and ventilation needs in the rack environment
Usage recommendations
For best results, pair the panel with CAT6A-rated patch cords and terminate keystone jacks using a reliable punch-down tool. Maintain proper bend radius for cables and separate high-power cabling to minimize interference. Label both ends of each connection to simplify troubleshooting and future reconfiguration.
