Patch Panel Synergy21 S216383/S216310 — 4-port TP CAT6A with keystone in black surface-mount metal flip box

The Synergy21 S216383/S216310 4-port TP CAT6A patch panel is a compact surface-mount solution for structured twisted-pair cabling. Pre‑loaded with four keystone modules and housed in a large black metal flip (clamshell) box, this panel supports CAT6A performance for high-speed Ethernet links and is designed for wall-mounted distribution points, small racks and other installations where a secure, accessible termination point is required.

Advantages

This 4-port TP CAT6A panel combines shielded/unshielded twisted-pair compatibility with a sturdy metal flip box for mechanical protection and easy access. The keystone-mounted ports simplify module replacement and wiring changes without modifying the entire enclosure. The compact footprint and surface-mount design make it suitable for installations where rack space is limited or wall mounting is preferred.

Suitable for

• Small server rooms and network closets requiring CAT6A terminations
• Wall-mounted distribution points in offices, retail or residential buildings
• Environments where keystone modularity and easy access are needed for maintenance
• Deployments that require a metal enclosure for improved durability and shielding

When it may not be suitable

This product is intended for structured cabling with up to four copper twisted-pair connections; it is not designed to replace larger rack-mounted patch panels needed for high port-count deployments. If a fully populated UTP/FTP rack panel with higher density or integrated cable management is required, a larger rack-mounted solution may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Port type: 4 x keystone RJ45 ports for twisted-pair cabling
• Performance class: CAT6A compliant performance for 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Enclosure: Surface-mount metal flip (clamshell) box, black finish
• Compatibility: Supports shielded and unshielded twisted-pair keystone modules
• Mounting: Wall/surface mounting with accessible flip cover

How to use

Mount the metal flip box at the chosen distribution point and secure it to the surface using appropriate screws and anchors for the substrate. Terminate each copper cable onto the back of the keystone modules following T568A or T568B wiring standards, then snap the keystone modules into the front openings. Close the flip cover for protection; open it when performing testing, rewiring or module replacement. Use compatible CAT6A-rated cables and connectors to preserve the intended performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm whether shielded or unshielded keystone modules are required for your cabling and select matching components
• Check available wall or surface space and mounting hardware compatibility for the metal enclosure
• Ensure cabling follows CAT6A installation best practices (pair untwist, bend radius, separation from interference sources)
• Verify the number of ports meets current and future network expansion needs

Usage recommendations

For reliable CAT6A performance, use certified CAT6A patch cords and maintain proper cable management to avoid exceeding bend radius and pair untwist limits. When using shielded components, maintain continuous grounding of the shield at appropriate points to preserve EMC benefits.
