Patch Panel 24‑port Cat6A Synergy21 S216333/S216379, 19", 0.5U, light gray, includes keystone slim-line

The Patch Panel 24‑port Cat6A Synergy21 S216333/S216379 is a 19" rack-mountable termination panel occupying 0.5U, supplied in light gray and pre-fitted with slim-line keystone modules. It is designed for structured cabling installations supporting Cat6A performance and 10G Ethernet links, providing a compact, serviceable connection point for horizontal twisted-pair cabling and a convenient interface to switches and patching frames.

Advantages

This 24‑port Cat6A patch panel combines space-efficient design with full keystone modularity, enabling individual jack replacement or upgrades without replacing the entire panel. Pre-installed slim-line keystone modules are tested and ready for immediate use, reducing installation time. The 0.5U height saves rack space in dense equipment racks while maintaining organized port labeling and reliable termination for high-speed copper connections.

Suitable for

• Data center and network room horizontal cabling termination for 10G Ethernet
• Office and enterprise structured cabling installations requiring Cat6A performance
• Patch panel arrays where rack space efficiency and keystone flexibility are needed

When it may not be suitable

The panel is intended for Cat6A twisted-pair copper cabling and is not suitable where fibre optic termination or higher-density modular panels are required. It may not be the best choice for installations that need integrated cable management trays or panels with built-in shielding beyond the keystone/module level.

Key specifications

• Ports: 24 RJ45 keystone positions with slim-line keystone modules installed
• Category: Cat6A performance suitable for 10G Ethernet
• Format: 19" rack mount, 0.5U height
• Colour: light gray
• Modularity: keystone modular design allowing individual jack replacement

How to use

Mount the panel in a standard 19" rack occupying 0.5U of vertical space and route horizontal cabling to each keystone module. Terminate each Cat6A twisted-pair cable according to T568A or T568B wiring standard at the keystone jack and verify continuity and pair integrity with a cable tester. Use patch cords to connect the panel ports to switch uplinks or patching frames. If a keystone needs replacement or upgrade, remove the slim-line module and insert a compatible keystone without removing the entire panel.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that Cat6A category and 10G performance meet your network bandwidth and distance requirements
• Ensure the 0.5U height and 24‑port density fit available rack space and planned patching layout
• Verify compatibility of slim-line keystone modules with your preferred keystone jacks and patch cords
• Plan for cable management and labeling to maintain accessibility in dense rack configurations

Usage recommendations

Install and terminate Cat6A cabling following industry standards and test each run for alien crosstalk, return loss and NEXT to ensure 10G performance. Maintain proper bend radius and secure cable management to preserve signal integrity and simplify future maintenance or upgrades.
