Keystone Slim-line Short CAT6A 2-port Wall Outlet with Dust Cover, 180° swivel, Synergy21 S216355/S216338V2

The Keystone Slim-line Short CAT6A 2-port Wall Outlet with Dust Cover, 180° swivel from Synergy21 is a compact, shielded keystone module designed for wall-mounted structured cabling. It provides two CAT6A RJ45 ports in a slim short-format housing with an integrated dust protection flap and a 180° swivel mechanism. The module supports high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections and is intended for installation in data, office and residential network environments where a low-profile, tidy outlet is required.

Advantages

The slim-line short housing keeps the outlet low-profile and reduces protrusion from the wall while preserving full CAT6A performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The integrated dust cover protects unused ports from dust and debris and maintains shield continuity when closed. The 180° swivel feature allows flexible cable routing and orientation to match wall box and furniture placements, reducing stress on patch cables and connectors. Shielded keystone construction supports improved EMI/RFI immunity in environments with potential interference.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet patching in offices and data closets
• Residential structured network outlets for streaming, gaming and smart home devices
• Wall-mounted keystone panels, patch panels or modular sockets requiring shielded CAT6A ports

When it may not be suitable

This slim-line short outlet is optimized for CAT6A shielded copper cabling and compact wall-box installations. It may not be appropriate where full-size faceplates, non-keystone proprietary connectors, or connectors requiring additional clearance are specified. For applications that need unmated port dust-sealing under frequent heavy use or ruggedized outdoor-rated enclosures, a different rugged or IP-rated solution should be considered.

Key specifications

• Port type: Two RJ45 ports, CAT6A performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: Shielded keystone design for enhanced EMI/RFI immunity
• Form factor: Slim-line short keystone module for wall-mounted installations
• Dust protection: Integrated dust protection flap for unused ports
• Orientation: 180° swivel mechanism for flexible cable routing
• Typical applications: Data, office and residential structured cabling

How to use

Install the module into a compatible faceplate, wall box or keystone panel following standard structured cabling practices. Terminate shielded CAT6A cables to compatible RJ45 jacks or patch cords and ensure proper shield continuity and grounding per local cabling standards. Use the 180° swivel to orient the ports for convenient cable entry and close the dust flap when ports are unused to protect contacts. Verify link and performance with appropriate network test equipment after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your existing faceplate or keystone panel dimensions and mounting system
• Ensure use of shielded CAT6A cabling and proper grounding to benefit from the module’s shielding
• Check whether the slim short form factor provides sufficient clearance for connectors and nearby furniture
• Verify that dust protection and swivel orientation meet your installation and maintenance needs

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit performance, pair this shielded CAT6A keystone outlet with high-quality shielded patch cords and maintain continuous grounding of the shielded system. Use the swivel feature to minimize cable bending near the connector and close the dust flap on unused ports to reduce contamination and maintain contact integrity.
