Patch Panel 24-port CAT6A with Keystone Slim-line, 19" 1U, Synergy21 S216320/S216318V3, black

Patch Panel 24-port CAT6A with Keystone Slim-line, 19" 1U, Synergy21 S216320/S216318V3, black is a 24-port rack-mounted termination panel designed for CAT6A copper cabling. Built to fit a standard 19-inch, 1U rack space, the panel accepts Slim-line keystone jacks to provide organized, high-density connectivity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-performance network applications. Its black finish and compact depth suit crowded rack environments in data centres, server rooms and enterprise network closets.

Advantages

This patch panel supports CAT6A performance levels required for 10GbE over copper and integrates Slim-line keystone sockets for flexible port termination and easy replacement. The 1U, 19-inch form factor offers a space-efficient solution for structured cabling, while the panel’s layout promotes neat cable dressing and straightforward labelling. Its metal construction ensures rack durability and consistent grounding when installed as part of a bonded rack system.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and high-speed copper networks
• Data centres and server room rack installations
• Enterprise network racks requiring organized, labelled terminations
• Patch fields where easy keystone replacement or reconfiguration is needed

When it may not be suitable

This panel is intended for CAT6A copper cabling; it is not suitable for fibre backbone terminations or as a direct replacement for integrated managed patching systems that require active components. Locations that require non-standard rack depths or non-19" mounting will need a different form factor.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 keystone slots
• Category: CAT6A compliant termination
• Form factor: 19-inch, 1U (height 1U)
• Keystone type: Slim-line compatible
• Colour/finish: Black powder-coated metal
• Intended use: Rack-mounted structured cabling termination for Ethernet

How to use

Install the patch panel in a standard 19" rack occupying 1U of height. Terminate CAT6A horizontal or equipment cabling to the Slim-line keystone jacks according to the cabling standard (T568A or T568B) and follow proper pair untwisting and wire management practices to maintain performance. Mount keystone jacks into the panel, secure the panel to rack rails, and use cable management accessories to route and relieve strain on patch cords. Label each port to reflect the corresponding outlet or device for easier administration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify rack compatibility (standard 19" mounting and 1U available)
• Confirm CAT6A cabling and keystone jack type (Slim-line) are suitable for your network
• Check rack depth and clearance for patch cords and cable management
• Plan port labelling and grounding practices for rack infrastructure

Usage recommendations

Use certified CAT6A keystone jacks and maintain recommended untwisting limits during termination. Combine the panel with vertical or horizontal cable managers to preserve performance and simplify moves, adds and changes.
