Patch panel Synergy21 S216336V4/S216382 — 24-port TP CAT6A, keystone slim-line, 19" 1U, light gray, with cable clamp

The Synergy21 S216336V4/S216382 24-port TP CAT6A patch panel is a 19" 1U rack-mount unit designed for structured cabling in data centers, server rooms and commercial network closets. It accepts slim-line keystone modules to provide flexible port configurations while supporting CAT6A performance for 10G Ethernet. The unit is finished in light gray and includes an integrated cable clamp to provide strain relief and help maintain orderly cable routing behind the panel.

Advantages

This patch panel offers a compact 1U form factor with 24 keystone-compatible ports allowing simple customization and easy replacement of single ports. Built for CAT6A-rated twisted-pair performance, it supports high-speed 10G Ethernet links when paired with appropriate cabling and modules. The integral cable clamp adds mechanical protection for cable terminations and assists in maintaining bend radius and cable management within rack installations.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring 10G-capable horizontal distribution
• Structured cabling installations in office buildings and telecommunications rooms
• Environments that need modular keystone port flexibility for mixed connector types

When it may not be suitable

This panel is intended specifically for slim-line keystone modules; it is not suitable if your design requires fixed RJ45 molded ports or integrated shields not provided by the keystone modules. It also requires compatible CAT6A-rated keystone jacks and cabling to achieve full 10G performance, so using lower-category components will limit throughput.

Key specifications

• Ports: 24 keystone-compatible ports (slim-line)
• Performance category: CAT6A (for 10G Ethernet when used with CAT6A components)
• Rack mount: 19" 1U height
• Color/finish: Light gray
• Integrated feature: Cable clamp for strain relief and cable routing
• Intended cable type: Twisted-pair copper horizontal cabling

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a 19" rack occupying one rack unit. Install slim-line keystone jacks into the front openings according to your connector requirements (for example RJ45 CAT6A jacks). Terminate horizontal twisted-pair cables to the keystone modules following the color-code and termination method recommended by the jack manufacturer. Route cables to the rear of the panel and secure them using the integrated cable clamp to provide strain relief and maintain an orderly cable path. Label ports as needed for identification and test each link to verify performance to CAT6A standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm you will use slim-line keystone modules compatible with the panel
• Ensure horizontal cabling and keystone jacks are CAT6A-rated to achieve 10G performance
• Verify available 1U rack space and compatibility with your rack mounting standards
• Plan for cable management and labeling to maintain serviceability

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10G links, use certified CAT6A keystone jacks and cabling, maintain proper bend radius, and secure conductors with the integrated cable clamp. Perform end-to-end testing after installation to confirm channel compliance.
