Patch Panel 24xTP CAT6A with Slim-line Keystone, Synergy21 S216321/S216379, 19" 1U, light gray

Patch Panel 24xTP CAT6A with Slim-line Keystone from Synergy21 is a 19" 1U rack-mounted panel with 24 RJ45 ports designed for terminating and organising horizontal structured cabling. Component-tested for CAT6A performance, the panel supports high-speed 10Gb/s connections and is supplied with slim-line keystone modules for a compact, space-saving port layout. The light gray finish and 1U height make it suitable for data centres, server rooms and network cabinets where neat cable management and reliable channel performance are required.

Advantages

This Synergy21 patch panel delivers a compact 24-port layout with component-tested CAT6A support to maintain signal integrity up to the channel specification. The supplied slim-line keystone modules reduce space between ports and simplify installation and future changes, while the 19" 1U format ensures compatibility with standard rack systems. The light gray finish provides a neutral appearance suitable for commercial and technical environments.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server rooms requiring 10Gb/s horizontal cabling termination
• Network closets and telecommunications cabinets in commercial buildings
• Structured cabling projects using CAT6A performance class components
• Rack-mounted network equipment installations where 1U space must be conserved

When it may not be suitable

This 24-port CAT6A patch panel is designed specifically for standard RJ45 copper cabling and slim-line keystone modules; it is not suitable for fibre-optic terminations or specialised high-density modular systems that require different connectors. If you need more than 24 ports in a single 1U unit or require PoE-specific labelling and integrated power management, consider alternative panels or additional accessories.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 RJ45 ports
• Performance class: CAT6A (component-tested)
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gb/s (channel)
• Format: 19" rack-mountable, 1U (height)
• Keystone type: Slim-line keystone modules included
• Colour: Light gray

How to use

Mount the patch panel into a standard 19" rack, securing it at the 1U position. Terminate the horizontal copper cabling on the rear side of each keystone module according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B), following the colour code and punch-down or IDC method recommended by the keystone manufacturer. Snap the slim-line keystones into the front of the panel and label ports as required for easy identification. Test each link with a suitable cable tester to verify CAT6A channel performance and continuity after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your network requires CAT6A performance and supports 10 Gb/s links
• Verify rack space availability (19" 1U) and mounting requirements in your cabinet
• Confirm compatibility of your termination tools with slim-line keystone modules
• Plan port labelling and cable management accessories for neat installation

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cable management (horizontal managers, Velcro straps) to avoid excessive bend radius and maintain CAT6A performance. After termination, perform certification tests for return loss, NEXT and insertion loss to confirm compliance with channel requirements. Keep spare keystone modules and clear port labelling to simplify future moves, adds or changes.
