Patch Panel 24xTP CAT6A with Keystone Slim-line/Short 3P, 19" 1U, Synergy21 (S216321/S216364) Lichtgrau

The Synergy21 Patch Panel 24xTP CAT6A with Keystone Slim-line/Short 3P, 19" 1U in light grey is a rack-mount termination unit designed for structured Ethernet cabling. It provides 24 RJ45 ports compatible with CAT6A cabling to support up to 10 Gbps links and is intended for installation in 19-inch 1U telecommunication racks. Supplied with slim-line keystone modules, the panel enables straightforward port labelling and modular replacements while keeping a low-profile front for dense rack deployments.

Advantages

This patch panel centralizes horizontal cabling terminations in a single 1U space, reducing clutter and simplifying cable management. The use of CAT6A-rated ports supports higher bandwidth and improved performance for demanding network environments. Keystone slim-line modules allow easy replacement or reconfiguration without replacing the entire panel, and the standardized 19" 1U form factor ensures compatibility with common server cabinets and racks.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack and horizontal cabling terminations
• Server rooms and telecommunications racks requiring 24-port CAT6A connectivity
• Network cabinets where space-efficient 1U solutions are required
• Environments needing modular keystone ports for mixed media or future reconfiguration

When it may not be suitable

This panel is designed specifically for CAT6A RJ45 terminations; it is not intended for fiber optic terminations or for use where shielded or specialized proprietary connectors are required. If a higher port density than 24 ports per 1U is necessary, or if an integrated cable management tray is required, alternative panels with different form factors may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Port count: 24 RJ45 ports
• Supported cabling category: CAT6A (10 Gbps capable)
• Form factor: 19-inch, 1U (height 1 rack unit)
• Keystone module type: slim-line/short keystone modules (3P style)
• Front finish: light grey
• Mounting: Rack-mount for standard 19" frames

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a standard 19" 1U rack location and secure with appropriate screws. Terminate horizontal CAT6A cables at the rear termination points following T568A or T568B wiring standards. Insert keystone slim-line modules into the front ports if required for mechanical support or replacement. Use clear port labelling to match patch cords at the front to wall outlets or network equipment. For best performance, maintain proper cable bend radius and separate power cabling from data runs.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your horizontal cabling is CAT6A or compatible with CAT6A-rated RJ45 ports
• Verify rack space availability for a 1U device and mounting screw compatibility
• Confirm whether slim-line keystone modules meet your connector and media requirements
• Assess if additional cable management accessories are needed for your installation

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10G performance, test terminated links after installation with an appropriate certification tester and keep patch cord lengths within recommended limits. Use organised labelling and route cables to minimise cross-talk and maintain airflow in the rack.
