Patch Panel 48xTP CAT6A Synergy21 S216339/S216338V2, 19", 1U, keystone slim-line, with dust flap, light gray

The Patch Panel 48xTP CAT6A Synergy21 S216339/S216338V2 is a 19" 1U rack-mount panel that provides 48 RJ45 ports for CAT6A structured cabling. Designed for environments that require organized port management and reliable support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, this slim-line keystone compatible panel includes an integrated dust flap to protect unused ports and maintain connector cleanliness. The light gray finish and 1U height make it suitable for standard server racks and network cabinets where a compact, professional cable distribution solution is needed.

Advantages

This patch panel offers high-density termination for up to 48 CAT6A ports in a single 1U space, enabling efficient use of rack real estate. Keystone slim-line compatibility allows flexible module selection and easy port changes or replacements without full panel swaps. The integrated dust flap helps reduce contamination of ports when not in use, which supports long-term signal integrity. The panel is engineered for straightforward rack mounting and rack-standard 19" compatibility, ensuring consistent alignment with other rack equipment.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet distribution
• Network closets and telecommunications rooms in commercial buildings
• Structured cabling installations using CAT6A horizontal cabling
• Environments needing modular keystone solutions and easy port maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This panel is intended for CAT6A keystone modules and is not suitable for environments that require integrated shielding beyond the keystone jack level or non-RJ45 connector types without appropriate adapters. It may not be the best choice where lower-density panels or built-in cable management features (such as large integrated cable troughs) are preferred.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19" rack-mount, 1U
• Port count: 48 RJ45 ports
• Cabling standard: CAT6A (supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Keystone type: slim-line / short keystone compatibility
• Color/finish: light gray
• Front protection: integrated dust flap for unused ports

How to use

Mount the panel in a standard 19" rack using the supplied mounting points and fasteners. Install CAT6A keystone jacks into the slim-line openings according to the keystone module instructions, and terminate horizontal cabling on the rear of the jacks following industry wiring standards (T568A/T568B as required). Use the dust flap to cover unused ports to minimize dust ingress. Label ports as needed for easy identification and connect patch cords between the panel and active network equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your keystone jacks are slim-line/short compatible with the panel openings
• Confirm CAT6A cabling and termination practices are used to achieve rated performance
• Verify rack space availability for a 1U panel and overall rack layout for cable routing
• Assess whether additional cable management accessories are needed to complement the panel

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use certified CAT6A keystone jacks and maintain proper cable bend radii and separation from power cabling. Regularly close the integrated dust flap on unused ports and periodically inspect connections for dust or damage. When terminating cables, follow recognized wiring standards and testing procedures to validate 10 Gigabit links.
