Patch Panel 24xTP Synergy21 S216336V4/S216364 CAT6A 19" 1U with keystone slim-line/short 3P and cable clamp, light gray

The Synergy21 Patch Panel 24xTP CAT6A is a 19" 1U rack-mounted panel designed to terminate and organize up to 24 twisted-pair network connections. It accepts slim-line/short 3P keystone jacks, offers an integrated cable clamp for secure cable management and is finished in light gray. The panel is intended for structured cabling in data centers, server rooms and standard network racks, providing a compact, industry-standard interface between horizontal copper cabling and active equipment.

Advantages

This 24-port CAT6A patch panel provides a compact 1U footprint while supporting high-performance twisted-pair cabling. Compatibility with slim-line/short 3P keystone jacks enables flexible module selection and simple, tool-assisted insertion. The integrated cable clamp helps maintain cable bend radius and strain relief at the rear of the panel, improving connection reliability. The light-gray finish and standard 19" mounting make the panel suitable for mixed-vendor rack environments and straightforward labeling.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring organized CAT6A horizontal cabling termination
• Network racks in office and commercial IT closets
• Environments using slim-line/short 3P keystone modules for space-saving layouts
• Upgrades from lower-category panels to support higher bandwidth copper links

When it may not be suitable

This patch panel is intended specifically for keystone-style terminations and will not accept fixed RJ45 punch-down modules. If you require integrated labeling fields or blanking panels beyond the provided keystone positions, additional accessories may be necessary. The light-gray finish is standard but may not match bespoke rack color schemes.

Key specifications

• Port count: 24 keystone positions
• Category support: CAT6A (for twisted-pair copper cabling)
• Mounting: 19-inch, 1U rack mount (height 1U)
• Keystone type: compatible with slim-line / short 3P keystone jacks
• Cable management: integrated rear cable clamp for strain relief
• Color/finish: light gray

How to use

Install the patch panel in a standard 19" rack occupying 1U of rack space using appropriate mounting screws. Fit compatible slim-line/short 3P keystone jacks into the front keystone openings until they click into place. Terminate the horizontal CAT6A field cables on the rear-side keystone modules or use keystone jacks terminated outside the panel and snap them into the ports. Use the integrated cable clamp to secure the bundled cables and preserve bend radius; route cables neatly to minimize strain and interference. Label front ports according to your rack or patching scheme for efficient identification.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your keystone jacks are slim-line/short 3P format and compatible with keystone panels
• Confirm rack depth and available 1U space for mounting the panel
• Check that CAT6A cabling and termination methods in your installation meet desired performance levels
• Assess whether additional cable management accessories are needed for large cable bundles

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use factory-rated CAT6A keystone jacks and follow manufacturer termination procedures. Maintain proper cable bend radius, secure cables with the integrated clamp, and use clear port labeling to simplify future moves, adds, and changes.
