Patch panel 24‑port Cat6A Synergy21 S216336V4/S216380 with keystone short and cable clamp, 19" 1U, light gray

The Synergy21 24‑port Cat6A patch panel is a 19" 1U rack component designed to terminate and organize up to 24 Ethernet connections in structured cabling environments. It supports Cat6A performance for high‑speed LAN and backbone links and is supplied with keystone short modules and an integrated cable clamp to simplify installation and maintain cable management within server rooms, network racks and data centers.

Advantages

The patch panel provides 24 RJ45 ports compatible with Cat6A cabling standards, enabling support for higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower category panels. The included keystone short modules allow flexible port population and easy replacement of individual jacks. An integrated cable clamp secures cable bundles at the rear, helping maintain consistent bend radii and strain relief. The 1U, 19" form factor fits standard racks and conserves space in multi‑device installations.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centers requiring Cat6A termination
• Network racks in small and medium enterprise environments
• Structured cabling backbones and horizontal distribution frames
• Environments where modular keystone jacks simplify maintenance and moves

When it may not be suitable

This patch panel is intended for installations that require Cat6A performance and modular keystone jacks; it may not be necessary for networks limited to Cat5e or Cat6 performance where lower‑category panels would be sufficient and more cost‑effective. It is a 1U device designed for 19" racks, so it is not suitable for wall‑mounted or non‑rack installations without appropriate mounting hardware.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 RJ45 ports
• Cabling standard supported: Cat6A
• Form factor: 19" rack, 1U height
• Port type: Keystone modular ports (short keystone modules included)
• Cable management: Integrated rear cable clamp for strain relief
• Color: Light gray

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a 19" rack occupying one unit of rack space. Insert the keystone jacks into the front ports as required and terminate the LAN cables on the rear side according to standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B). Use the integrated cable clamp to secure cable bundles and maintain proper bend radius. Label ports on the front to reflect patching and network topology. Verify connections and test each port for continuity and certification to ensure Cat6A performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your network cabling and active equipment support Cat6A to make full use of the panel's capabilities
• Confirm available 19" rack space (1U) for installation
• Decide on wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) and necessary keystone jack types
• Plan for cable routing and whether additional cable management accessories are required

Usage recommendations

For reliable Cat6A performance, use shielded or unshielded Cat6A cables consistent with your environment, follow correct termination practices, and perform certification testing after installation. Keep cable lengths and bend radii within recommended limits and document port assignments for easier maintenance.
