Patch Panel 24‑port Cat6A, Synergy21, 19" 1U, Slim-line keystone with dust flap, black

Synergy21 Patch Panel 24‑port Cat6A is a 19" 1U slim-line keystone panel engineered for structured cabling in data centres, server rooms and network cabinets. The panel supports Category 6A performance for high‑speed Ethernet and provides 24 short/slim keystone openings with integrated dust flaps to protect unused ports. Its 1U (t 94 mm) form factor and black finish allow high port density in standard racks while keeping a low profile.

Advantages

The patch panel combines Cat6A performance with a space-saving slim-line keystone format, enabling installers to populate high-density racks without compromising cable management. Integrated dust flaps on each keystone opening protect ports from dust and debris when not in use. The 1U height is compatible with standard 19" racks and cabinets, simplifying integration into existing infrastructure. The product is intended for professional structured cabling environments where consistent performance and modularity are required.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet networks requiring Cat6A performance
• Data centres and server rooms where rack space is limited
• Network cabinets and telecommunications closets with 19" rack mounting
• Environments that benefit from modular keystone components and dust protection

When it may not be suitable

This 24‑port slim-line Cat6A panel is not suitable if your installation requires different connector formats (for example pre-terminated trunk modules or fixed RJ45 integrated jacks) or if you need shielded or fibre-specific panels. It may also be inappropriate for installations that require a non-standard rack height or non-19" mounting systems.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 keystone openings
• Performance class: Category 6A compliance for high-speed Ethernet
• Form factor: 19" rack, 1U (t 94 mm) height
• Keystone type: slim-line / short keystone modules
• Port protection: integrated dust flaps on unused keystone openings
• Colour and finish: black

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19" rack at the desired 1U position and secure with appropriate rack screws. Install compatible slim-line keystone jacks into the keystone openings according to the keystone orientation. Terminate network cables to the keystone jacks following Cat6A termination guidelines and pair colour codes, then insert jacks into the panel. Close dust flaps on unused ports to reduce dust ingress. Label ports as required for rack documentation and cable management.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your keystone jacks are slim-line/short form factor and Cat6A compatible
• Verify rack depth and available 1U space in your cabinet or rack
• Ensure required performance (Cat6A) and shielding needs match your network design
• Plan for cable management and labelling to maintain performance and serviceability

Usage recommendations

Use certified Cat6A keystone jacks and follow manufacturer termination procedures to preserve performance. Keep unused ports closed with the integrated dust flaps and apply clear port labelling to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
