Patch Panel Synergy21 24xTP-TP Coupling CAT6A with Keystone Slim-line, 19" 1U, 45° angled cable exit, light gray

Patch Panel Synergy21 24xTP-TP Coupling CAT6A with Keystone Slim-line is a 1U, 19" rack-mount panel providing 24 RJ45 keystone couplings that meet CAT6A performance requirements. The panel includes Slim-line Keystone modules for modular connectivity and features a 45° angled cable exit to support improved cable routing and reduced strain on terminated cables. Finished in light gray, this panel is designed for structured cabling in data centres, server rooms and network closets where high-speed Ethernet, neat port management and space-efficient 19" mounting are required.

Advantages

The design offers 24 TP-TP coupling ports in a single 1U unit, enabling high port density while keeping a low rack footprint. Integrated Slim-line Keystone modules allow flexible module replacement and mixed connector setups without changing the whole panel. A 45° angled cable exit aids in routing cables to side pathways or vertical managers and reduces bend radius stress near termination points. The light gray finish provides neutral aesthetics suitable for typical rack environments.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server rooms requiring CAT6A-capable patching
• Network closets and telecommunications rooms with 19" rack infrastructure
• Environments needing modular keystone connectivity and flexible port changes
• Installations where angled cable exit improves cable management or saves depth

When it may not be suitable

This panel is intended for CAT6A copper copper Ethernet patching and is not suitable for fibre optic terminations without additional adapters or conversion modules. It may not be appropriate when shielded (STP) cable grounding or special rack depth constraints require a different panel design; verify physical clearance behind the rack and grounding needs before selection.

Key specifications

• Port count: 24 RJ45 keystone couplings
• Performance class: CAT6A-rated couplings for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Mounting: 19" rack, 1U (96 mm) height
• Cable exit: 45° angled rear exit for improved routing
• Module type: Slim-line Keystone modules (modular, replaceable)
• Colour: Light gray finish

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19" rack occupying one rack unit (1U). Insert or confirm the Slim-line Keystone modules are in place and terminate CAT6A-rated twisted pair cables to the rear of each keystone following standard termination schemes (T568A or T568B). Route cables through the 45° angled exit to a cable management bar or vertical manager to maintain minimum bend radius. Label ports as required and test each connection with an appropriate cable tester to verify performance to CAT6A specifications.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm need for CAT6A performance (10 Gigabit Ethernet) and compatibility with existing cabling
• Verify 1U mounting space and rack depth/clearance for the angled exit
• Decide on termination standard (T568A or T568B) and port labelling plan
• Consider whether shielded cabling or special grounding is required for your installation

Usage recommendations

Use CAT6A-rated patch cords for end-to-end performance and organize cables with horizontal or vertical management to preserve the 45° exit benefits. After installation, perform certification or qualification testing for each port to ensure compliance with CAT6A parameters and document port assignments for future changes.
