Patch Panel 24‑port Cat6A Synergy21 S216320/S216364 with Slim‑line Keystone, 19" 1U, black

Synergy21 Patch Panel 24‑port Cat6A S216320/S216364 is a 19" 1U rack-mounted panel providing 24 RJ45 ports with Cat6A performance for high-speed copper networks. It is supplied with Slim‑line / Short 3‑position Keystone inserts that allow flexible termination with compatible keystone modules and save depth in 19" cabinets. The panel is intended for structured cabling in LANs, data centres and network distribution frames where reliable 10Gb+ connections and standardised copper terminations are required.

Advantages

This patch panel delivers Category 6A electrical performance across 24 ports in a slim 1U form factor, enabling high-density installations without compromising cable management. The included Slim‑line Keystone inserts offer modular flexibility so you can populate ports with RJ45 jacks, fibre adapters or other keystone modules as needed. The shallow depth and 19" mounting make it suitable for space-constrained racks while maintaining standardised labelling and front-facing port access for easier moves, adds and changes.

Suitable for

• High-speed copper LANs requiring Cat6A/10Gb+ links
• Data centre patching and top-of-rack distribution
• Telecommunications rooms and network closets with limited rack depth
• Environments needing modular keystone flexibility for mixed media

When it may not be suitable

This panel is designed specifically for copper RJ45 keystone modules and may not be appropriate where pre-terminated permanent links or punch-down style termination blocks are required. If your installation requires shielded RJ45 connectors, verify compatibility of the keystone modules used with this unshielded panel design. For exclusively fibre-based backbone infrastructure, a fibre-specific patch panel would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19" 1U (1HE) rack mount
• Ports: 24 front-facing RJ45 keystone positions
• Performance class: Cat6A (supports 10Gb and higher over suitable cabling)
• Keystone type: Slim‑line / Short 3‑position modular keystone inserts included
• Depth: shallow design for reduced rack depth installations
• Colour: black
• Mounting: standard 19" rack compatibility

How to use

Install the patch panel in a 19" rack occupying 1U of space and secure with appropriate rack screws. Terminate horizontal copper cables to compatible Cat6A keystone jacks and insert them into the Slim‑line keystone positions following the colour-coding of the jack termination scheme. Use the front RJ45 ports for patch cord connections to active equipment or cross-connects. Label each port clearly to match your cabling documentation and maintain good cable management practices to preserve performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm you require Cat6A electrical performance and 10Gb+ capability
• Check compatibility of keystone jacks (slim/short format) and whether shielded modules are needed
• Verify available rack depth and clearance for the panel and connected cables
• Plan port labelling and cable management accessories for organised deployment

Usage recommendations

Use certified Cat6A keystone jacks and quality patch cords, keep cable untwist and pair integrity through termination, and avoid sharp bends at the panel. Maintain clear port labelling and document terminations to simplify troubleshooting and future reconfiguration.
