Patch Panel 8xTP Synergy21 S216375/S216310 — CAT6A, includes large Keystone, surface-mount metal, light gray

Surface-mount patch panel Synergy21 S216375/S216310 provides eight twisted-pair ports engineered for CAT6A performance. The product includes a large Keystone insert and comes in a light gray, surface-mount metal enclosure designed for compact wall-mounted termination in structured cabling systems. It is intended for use where a small, robust patching point is needed for high-speed Ethernet links in offices, telecom closets and small data rooms.

Advantages

The metal surface-mount housing offers mechanical protection and a professional finish while the included large Keystone module simplifies installation by accepting a variety of keystone jacks. Eight TP ports with CAT6A capability support higher bandwidth and improved alien crosstalk performance compared with lower-category panels. The compact footprint and light gray finish make it suitable for visible installations where a discreet, durable termination point is required.

Suitable for

• Small office and meeting room network terminations
• Telecom cupboards and closet patching points
• Small data rooms or edge network distribution
• Installations requiring surface-mounting on walls or cabinets

When it may not be suitable

This surface-mount metal panel is designed for compact wall-mounted terminations and may not be suitable for installations that require flush-mounted or rack-mounted patch panels. For environments demanding more than eight ports or integrated cable management and shielding beyond a simple metal enclosure, a larger rack-mounted solution would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 8 twisted-pair ports
• Cabling category: CAT6A performance
• Mounting type: surface-mount (wall-mounted)
• Enclosure material: metal
• Color/finish: light gray
• Included module: large Keystone insert for keystone jacks

How to use

Mount the panel on a suitable flat surface using appropriate fasteners for the wall type. Terminate individual network cables onto keystone jacks that fit the supplied large Keystone insert, following standard T568A/T568B wiring schemes and manufacturer's instructions for keystone jacks. Insert the populated keystone jacks into the panel, secure the cover if present, and label ports as needed for identification. Connect patch cords from network equipment to the front ports for active links and verify connectivity and performance with suitable testing tools for CAT6A.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that an eight-port surface-mount panel meets the required port count for the installation
• Verify compatibility of keystone jacks with the supplied large Keystone insert
• Ensure wall or cabinet mounting location and fasteners are suitable for a metal surface-mount enclosure
• Check that CAT6A performance meets bandwidth and distance requirements for the network

Usage recommendations

Use certified CAT6A keystone jacks and maintain correct pair untwisting limits at termination points. Keep patch cord runs away from sources of electromagnetic interference and perform end-to-end testing after installation to validate throughput and alien-crosstalk performance.
