Patch Panel 8xTP CAT6A Synergy21 S216344/S216364 with Keystone Slim-line/Short 3P, Surface-Mount ABS White

Surface-mount patch panel for eight twisted-pair ports (8xTP) designed for CAT6A cabling, supplied with Slim-line/Short 3P Keystone inserts and housed in a white ABS enclosure. The Synergy21 unit provides a compact, wall- or surface-mountable termination point for Ethernet links, intended for use where space is limited but high-speed network performance is required. It is suitable for installations in small racks, wall boxes and office environments and supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit links when used with CAT6A cabling and compatible keystone jacks.

Advantages

The compact surface-mount design allows flexible placement close to network equipment or cabling routes while keeping installations tidy. Including Slim-line/Short 3P Keystone inserts simplifies termination and reduces the need to source separate keystone parts. The ABS enclosure is lightweight, impact-resistant and finished in white to blend with typical office interiors. The panel is designed to meet the physical requirements of CAT6A structured cabling in a small footprint, enabling high-speed connections without occupying standard rack space.

Suitable for

• Small server rooms, communication closets and office wall installations
• Surface-mounting where rack space is limited or unavailable
• Structured cabling deployments requiring CAT6A performance for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Localised patching points near user workstations or networked equipment

When it may not be suitable

This surface-mount patch panel is intended for compact installations and may not be appropriate where a full-width rack-mounted patch panel is required for high port density. It also requires compatible keystone jacks and CAT6A-certified cabling and connectors to achieve rated CAT6A performance; using lower-category components will limit maximum data rates.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 8x twisted-pair ports
• Cabling category: Designed for CAT6A performance
• Keystone type: Slim-line/Short 3P keystone inserts included
• Mounting: Surface-mount (wall/box) enclosure
• Material and colour: ABS enclosure, white finish
• Intended performance: Supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet when used with CAT6A cabling

How to use

Mount the panel to a suitable flat surface or within a compatible wall box using appropriate screws and anchors. Insert compatible CAT6A keystone jacks into the supplied Slim-line/Short 3P openings if not already fitted. Terminate individual cables to the keystone jacks following the colour-code and termination method specified for CAT6A cabling, taking care to maintain pair untwist limits and proper cable routing to preserve performance. Close the enclosure and connect patch cords between the panel ports and network equipment as required.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that CAT6A cabling and keystone jacks will be used end-to-end to achieve intended performance
• Check available mounting space and surface type for secure installation
• Verify that the included Slim-line/Short 3P keystone format is compatible with your keystone jacks or modules
• Plan cable routing and bend radius to maintain CAT6A signal integrity

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit links, use factory-tested CAT6A keystone jacks and maintain installation best practices: limit pair untwist at termination points, avoid sharp bends, and separate from strong electrical interference sources. Label ports for easier management and perform post-installation testing to verify link performance.
