Patch Panel Synergy21 S216383/S216364 - 4xTP CAT6A with Keystone, Slim-line Short 3P, Surface-Mount Metal Flip Box Black

The Synergy21 Patch Panel S216383/S216364 is a compact surface-mount solution that delivers four twisted-pair ports with CAT6A performance in a slim-line short 3P format. Housed in a black metal flip box designed for surface installation, this unit includes keystone modules for tool-friendly port termination and provides a low-profile option for small wiring closets, wall-mounted telecom outlets or residential and commercial network extensions where higher bandwidth and protected terminations are required.

Advantages

This patch panel combines CAT6A-rated ports with a slim, short 3P mechanical footprint and a metal flip box to offer robust physical protection while keeping a discreet surface-mounted appearance. Integrated keystone modules simplify connector changes and enable compatibility with a wide range of keystone jacks. The surface-mount metal housing facilitates neat cable routing and provides a durable mounting option for environments where recessed installation is not possible or desired.

Suitable for

• Small wiring closets and telecom enclosures where space is limited
• Surface-mounted wall outlets in residential or commercial premises
• Network extensions requiring CAT6A throughput for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper
• Environments that need protected, tamper-resistant terminations with a metal flip box

When it may not be suitable

This surface-mount slim-line 3P patch panel is not intended for large-scale data centre installations where higher port density and rack-mount panels are normally used. It may also be less suitable when recessed or flush-mounted installations are required for aesthetic or architectural reasons.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 4 x twisted-pair ports
• Performance class: CAT6A (suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper)
• Format: Slim-line short 3P
• Included: Keystone modules for modular jacks
• Enclosure: Surface-mount metal flip box, black finish
• Mounting: Surface/aufputz installation

How to use

Mount the metal flip box on a flat surface using appropriate screws and wall anchors for the substrate. Terminate incoming copper cables to the keystone modules following the colour code and punching down method recommended for CAT6A cabling. Insert compatible keystone jacks into the modules and secure the flip box cover to protect terminations. Route patch cords from network equipment to the keystone ports and test each link for continuity and CAT6A performance using a cable tester or certification tool.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that CAT6A performance is required for your application (for example, 10 Gigabit Ethernet distances)
• Verify available wall or surface space for the metal flip box and mounting hardware
• Ensure compatibility of keystone jacks you intend to use with the included keystone modules
• Assess whether a surface-mount solution is acceptable versus recessed or rack-mount panels

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use factory-rated CAT6A cabling and compatible keystone jacks, maintain correct pair untwisting limits when terminating, and perform post-installation testing to confirm performance. Keep the flip box closed to protect terminations from dust and mechanical stress.
