The Synergy21 S216337V3/S216317V4 is a 19" 1U patch panel equipped with 24 TP‑TP couplers and supplied with keystone modules to support structured cabling up to CAT6A performance. Designed for rack mounting in server rooms, network cabinets and telecom racks, this panel offers a compact, standardized termination point for high‑speed Ethernet links and simplifies patching and cable management while maintaining signal integrity required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair.
Advantages
This 24‑port panel integrates TP‑TP couplers and keystone inserts to reduce installation time by allowing preloaded modules to be snapped into place. The CAT6A‑rated design supports higher bandwidth and improved crosstalk performance compared with lower categories, making it suitable for 10GBASE‑T deployments. The 19" 1U form factor and black finish provide a professional, space‑efficient solution for standard racks and cabinets, while the use of couplers enables flexible reconfiguration and easy replacement of individual keystone modules.
Suitable for
- Server rooms and data centres requiring CAT6A-capable patching
- Network cabinets and rack systems in office environments
- Telecom racks and distribution frames for structured cabling
- Environments where modular keystone swapping and easy maintenance are needed
When it may not be suitable
This panel is designed specifically for copper twisted‑pair Ethernet up to CAT6A. It is not suitable for fibre‑optic terminations or for environments that require integrated cable management accessories beyond the panel itself. Installers who need shielded couplers or panels with a different port density or non‑standard mounting depth should consider alternative models.
Key specifications
- Form factor: 19" 1U rack mount
- Number of ports: 24 TP‑TP couplers
- Performance category: CAT6A
- Module type: Keystone couplers included
- Colour: Black
- Typical use: Copper twisted‑pair Ethernet termination for up to 10 Gbps links
How to use
Mount the patch panel in a standard 19" rack occupying one rack unit. Insert or confirm the preloaded keystone modules are securely snapped into the panel face. Terminate horizontal cabling to the rear of the keystone modules according to industry wiring standards (T568A or T568B), and use proper cable management to maintain bend radius and reduce crosstalk. Connect patch cords from active networking equipment to the front coupler ports to establish links. Label ports as required for straightforward identification and maintenance.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that CAT6A performance matches the network’s speed and distance requirements
- Confirm rack space (1U) and mounting depth fit your cabinet or shelf
- Decide on the required wiring standard (T568A/T568B) and labeling scheme
- Check whether shielded components are needed for the installation environment
Usage recommendations
For optimal signal integrity, keep patch cord lengths as short as practical in the patching area, maintain correct cable bend radius, and separate high‑power cabling from data cabling. Use consistent labeling for ports and document the port map to aid troubleshooting and future changes.
