Patch Panel Synergy21 S216339/S216379 — 48‑port TP CAT6A, 19" 1U, includes Keystone Slim-line, light gray

The Synergy21 48‑port patch panel S216339/S216379 is a 19" 1U solution for organized copper network termination supporting CAT6A performance. Designed for installation in standard racks and cabinets, the panel accepts 48 twisted‑pair ports and ships with Slim‑line keystone modules in a light gray finish. Component‑tested to meet cabling category requirements, it enables structured cabling for 10GbE and other high‑speed Ethernet applications in data centers, server rooms and network closets.

Advantages

The patch panel consolidates 48 CAT6A twisted‑pair connections in a single 1U rack space, helping to save cabinet depth and maintain a neat front appearance. Inclusion of Slim‑line keystone modules simplifies installation and provides a modular termination method compatible with standard keystone jacks. Component testing ensures the panel supports the electrical and mechanical requirements of Category 6A cabling, which helps maintain signal integrity for high‑speed links.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling installations in data centers and server rooms
• Network cabinets and wall racks in enterprise or SMB environments
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high‑speed copper network deployments
• Environments where modular keystone termination and neat rack organization are required

When it may not be suitable

This 48‑port CAT6A patch panel is intended for copper twisted‑pair networks and is not suitable for fiber optic terminations without additional fiber adapter panels. It occupies one rack unit (1U) and therefore may not be optimal where ultra‑low rack space usage or non‑standard rack sizes are required.

Key specifications

• Port count: 48 RJ45 ports (twisted‑pair)
• Cabling performance: Category 6A (component tested)
• Form factor: 19" rack, 1U height (t95mm)
• Included modules: Slim‑line keystone modules
• Finish color: Light gray
• Compatible with: standard keystone jacks and IDC termination methods for CAT6A

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19" rack occupying one unit of vertical space. Terminate horizontal cabling pairs to the rear IDC or keystone terminations according to T568A or T568B wiring standard as required by your installation. Insert compatible keystone jacks into the Slim‑line openings and secure patch cords at the front RJ45 ports. Label ports for clear identification and route cables to maintain bend radii and reduce crosstalk; follow best practices for CAT6A installation to preserve performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure rack space: requires 1U (t95mm) in a 19" cabinet
• Confirm use of CAT6A twisted‑pair cabling and compatible keystone jacks
• Plan for cable management and patch cord routing to maintain performance
• Not suitable for direct fiber terminations without appropriate fiber panels

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10GbE links, use certified CAT6A cables, observe specified bend radii, follow T568A/B wiring consistently, and document port assignments. Combine the panel with horizontal cable managers and rear cable support to reduce strain and preserve signal quality.
