Patch Panel 24‑port CAT6A Synergy21 S216336V4/S216379, 19" 1U, keystone slim-line, with cable clamp, light gray

Patch Panel 24‑port CAT6A Synergy21 S216336V4/S216379 is a 1U, 19" rack-mount patch panel designed for CAT6A structured cabling. It accepts slim-line keystone jacks and provides an integrated cable clamp for strain relief. Intended for high-speed copper networks, this light gray panel supports installations in data centres, server rooms and network racks where reliable 10 Gbps and higher links over shielded or unshielded twisted pair cabling are required.

Advantages

The panel's slim-line keystone format allows flexible port population and rapid field termination using standard keystone jacks. Its 1U, 19" form factor fits conventional racks and cabinets and the integrated cable clamp helps maintain cable routing and strain relief to protect terminations. The design focuses on easy installation, clear port access and compatibility with CAT6A components to meet performance requirements for higher-frequency copper links.

Suitable for

• Data centre rack rows and network cabinet installations
• Server rooms requiring 10 Gbps+ copper connectivity
• Structured cabling backbones and horizontal cabling terminations
• Environments where keystone jack flexibility is preferred for mixed connector types

When it may not be suitable

This patch panel is designed specifically for slim-line keystone CAT6A jacks; it is not suitable if fixed or non-keystone modules are required. It also does not include populated jacks or cable testing; purchasers should allow for separate keystone jacks and verification testing to confirm link performance. For copper links exceeding CABLING distance limits or when fibre runs are required, a fibre patch panel would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 keystone positions
• Form factor: 1U, 19" rack-mount
• Supported standard: CAT6A (suitable for 10 Gbps copper links at specified channel lengths)
• Keystone type: slim-line keystone compatible
• Colour: light gray
• Integrated features: rear cable clamp for strain relief and cable management
• Typical use: structured cabling for data centres, server rooms and network racks

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a 19" rack space (1U). Install appropriate slim-line CAT6A keystone jacks into the front positions according to the chosen connector layout. Route and terminate horizontal or patch cables to the keystone jacks following the jack manufacturer’s wiring scheme and punchdown method. Secure cable bundles to the integrated cable clamp at the rear to provide strain relief and maintain bend radii. After termination, perform standard certification or verification tests to confirm channel performance for CAT6A links.

What to consider before purchase

• Keystone jacks are not included — select compatible slim-line CAT6A keystones separately
• Ensure rack space (1U) and mounting hardware match your cabinet or rack
• Verify required channel performance and plan for certification testing after installation
• Confirm colour and front labelling needs for site consistency

Usage recommendations

Use certified CAT6A slim-line keystone jacks and follow manufacturer wiring and punchdown instructions. Maintain proper cable separation from power sources, avoid exceeding recommended bend radii, and secure cables with the integrated clamp to preserve connector performance. After installation, perform certification testing to validate 10 Gbps channel performance.
