Patch Panel Synergy21 24‑port CAT6A, 19" 1U, incl. Keystone Short and cable clamp, black

The Synergy21 Patch Panel 24‑port CAT6A is a 19" 1U rack-mount panel designed to accept 24 CAT6A keystone jacks. Supplied with Keystone Short modules and an integrated cable clamp, the panel supports high-performance Ethernet installations in data centers, server rooms and horizontal cabling backbones that require CAT6A transmission characteristics. The black finish and standard 1U height make it suitable for conventional rack layouts.

Advantages

The patch panel provides a compact, rack-friendly solution for terminating and managing up to 24 CAT6A ports in 1U of rack space. Included Keystone Short modules allow immediate installation of compatible keystone jacks, reducing time to deployment. The integrated cable clamp secures backbone and patch cabling, helping to maintain proper bend radius and strain relief for consistent signal performance. Its standardized 19" form factor ensures compatibility with most network racks and cabinets.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring CAT6A-rated terminations
• Horizontal cabling backbones in office buildings and enterprise networks
• Telecommunications rooms and network distribution frames
• Structured cabling projects where 1U rack density is required

When it may not be suitable

This panel is intended specifically for use with CAT6A keystone jacks; it is not appropriate for systems requiring different connector types or higher category performance such as Category 7 or fiber terminations. If your installation requires angled or low-profile ports for very tight front-panel spacing, a different panel design may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 24 keystone positions
• Compatible cabling: CAT6A keystone jacks
• Mounting: 19" rack, 1U height
• Finish/color: Black
• Accessories included: Keystone Short modules and integrated cable clamp
• Depth (typical rack mounting): fits standard 19" rack enclosures

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19" rack occupying a single unit (1U). Terminate individual CAT6A keystone jacks into the keystone positions supplied on the panel. Route patch and backbone cables and secure them using the integrated cable clamp to maintain bend radius and reduce strain on terminations. Label ports as required for network documentation and connect patch cords between active equipment and the panel ports for network operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure planned keystone jacks are CAT6A-rated and physically compatible with the short keystone modules supplied
• Confirm 1U of available rack space in your cabinet or rack
• Verify required port density and whether 24 ports in 1U meets your cabling layout
• Check that the black finish matches your rack and labeling scheme

Usage recommendations

For reliable CAT6A performance, use quality CAT6A keystone jacks and maintain appropriate cable management practices: observe bend radius, avoid untwisting pairs excessively during termination, and secure cables with the integrated clamp. Label ports consistently and test each link with a certified Cat6A tester after installation.
