Patch Panel 24‑port Cat6A Synergy21 S216320S216338V2 with Slim-line Keystone slots and dust flap, 19", 1U, black

The Synergy21 Patch Panel 24‑port Cat6A S216320S216338V2 is a 19" 1U rack-mount panel engineered for organizing and terminating Cat6A horizontal cabling. It provides 24 twisted-pair ports compatible with Slim-line / Short Keystone keystone modules and includes an integrated dust protection flap to reduce contamination when ports are not in use. The panel’s compact 1U height and black finish suit standard rack installations in data centres, server rooms and network closets.

Advantages

This 24‑port Cat6A patch panel supports high-performance structured cabling with a design that accepts Slim-line and Short Keystone modules, enabling flexible connector choices and straightforward field termination. The integrated dust flap helps protect unused ports from dust and debris, while the 1U form factor conserves rack space. Built for Cat6A environments, the panel contributes to consistent cable management and predictable signal routing.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server rooms requiring Cat6A horizontal cabling termination
• Network closets and telecom rooms with 19" 1U rack requirements
• Installations that use Slim-line or Short Keystone keystone modules
• Environments where dust protection for unused ports is desirable

When it may not be suitable

This patch panel is specifically designed for Cat6A cabling and Slim-line/Short Keystone modules; it may not be appropriate where other connector types or higher-category requirements (for example Cat7/Classe F passive systems) are specified. It is a fixed 1U panel, so installations that need different port densities or modular patching form factors may require an alternative product.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 RJ45-compatible TP ports
• Category support: Cat6A structured cabling
• Keystone compatibility: Slim-line / Short Keystone modules
• Rack size: 19" rack, 1U height
• Finish: black
• Dust protection: integrated protective flap for front ports

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a standard 19" rack using the supplied or appropriate rack hardware. Terminate horizontal Cat6A cables to the rear termination points or accepted keystone modules following standard wiring schemes (T568A/T568B) and manufacturer termination instructions. Insert compatible Slim-line or Short Keystone modules into the front slots and snap into place; use the dust flap to cover unused ports. Label ports as required to maintain organized patching and documentation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that installed connectors or keystone modules are Slim-line or Short Keystone compatible
• Ensure Cat6A cabling and installation practices meet the required performance standards for your network
• Verify available rack space (1U) and mounting hardware compatibility
• Plan port labeling and cable management to maintain accessibility and airflow

Usage recommendations

For reliable Cat6A performance, use certified Cat6A keystone jacks and follow proper cable handling and bend-radius guidelines during termination. Keep unused ports covered with the integrated dust flap, and combine the panel with cable management accessories to reduce strain and maintain clear routing paths.
