Patch Panel 24-port Cat6A Synergy21 S216333/S216380, 19" 0.5U, with Keystone short and cable clamp, light gray

The Patch Panel 24-port Cat6A Synergy21 S216333/S216380 is a 19" 0.5U rack-mount panel providing 24 RJ45 ports for Cat6A cabling. It is supplied with short keystone modules and features an integrated cable clamp to ensure secure strain relief. The panel is intended for organizing and terminating horizontal Ethernet cabling in data centers, server rooms and structured cabling installations, offering a compact half-rack height footprint for high-density deployments.

Advantages

The panel supports Cat6A performance across 24 ports in a 0.5U format, enabling higher port density in standard 19" racks. Short keystone modules simplify connector termination and replacement, while the built-in cable clamp provides consistent strain relief to protect terminations and maintain signal integrity. The light gray finish aids visual identification in mixed-equipment environments and the metal housing provides mechanical stability for repeated patching operations.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring high-density Cat6A termination
• Telecommunications and network closets in office buildings
• Structured cabling installations for 10G Ethernet and PoE applications
• Racks where a 0.5U, space-saving patching solution is needed

When it may not be suitable

This patch panel is intended specifically for Cat6A keystone jacks and may not be suitable for installations that require different connector types or integrated shielding for environments with extreme EMI concerns. It is designed for standard 19" racks and will not fit non-standard or custom enclosures without appropriate adapter hardware.

Key specifications

• Port count: 24 RJ45 ports
• Supported cabling: Cat6A
• Form factor: 19" 0.5U (half-height)
• Included modules: short keystone modules
• Cable management: integrated cable clamp for strain relief
• Finish: light gray
• Mounting: rack-mountable in standard 19" racks

How to use

Mount the panel in a standard 19" rack occupying a 0.5U space. Terminate incoming horizontal Cat6A cables into the supplied short keystone modules following the wiring standard in use (T568A or T568B). Use the integrated cable clamp to secure cable bundles and provide strain relief at the rear of the panel. Install patch cords into the front RJ45 ports to connect active equipment. Replace keystone modules as needed by removing the short modules and inserting compatible keystone jacks.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure rack compatibility with 19" and available 0.5U space
• Verify that Cat6A keystone jacks and patch cords match the required performance class
• Confirm whether shielded connectors or additional EMI protection are required for your environment
• Plan for cable routing and rear access to make use of the integrated cable clamp

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10G Ethernet performance, use certified Cat6A cables and maintain correct pair untwisting limits during termination. Secure cable bundles to the integrated clamp to minimize movement and strain on terminations, and label front ports to simplify future changes and troubleshooting.
