Patch Panel 4xTP CAT6A with Keystones, Slim-line, Cable Clamp, Surface-Mount Metal Flip Box, Synergy21 S216383/S216382

The Patch Panel 4xTP CAT6A with Keystones, Slim-line, Cable Clamp, Surface-Mount Metal Flip Box from Synergy21 is a compact four-port solution for CAT6A twisted-pair terminations. Supplied with keystone modules and mounted in a slim-line metal flip box designed for surface installation, the unit provides a neat, space-saving termination point for structured cabling in small racks, wall-mounted outlets or telecommunication closets. A built-in cable clamp gives strain relief to maintain performance and cable integrity.

Advantages

This surface-mount patch panel combines CAT6A-rated connectivity with a compact metal flip box that reduces installation depth. The inclusion of keystone modules simplifies wiring and future changes, while the integrated cable clamp secures conductors to prevent movement and reduce mechanical stress on terminations. The metal enclosure offers robust protection and a professional appearance for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Small server racks and network cabinets requiring CAT6A termination points
• Wall-mounted or surface-installed network outlets in offices or residential buildings
• Telecommunications closets and patching points where space is limited
• Environments needing a durable metal surface-mount enclosure for visible installations

When it may not be suitable

This slim-line surface-mount patch panel is optimized for compact installations and may not be appropriate where large modular panels or high-port-density solutions are required. It is intended for four-port terminations; projects requiring many ports or centralized high-density patching should use larger rack-mounted panels designed for that purpose.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 4 CAT6A twisted-pair keystone ports
• Performance category: CAT6A (suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper at specified distances)
• Enclosure type: Slim-line surface-mount metal flip box
• Included components: Keystone modules and a cable clamp for strain relief
• Mounting: Surface-mount (wall or flat surface) with flip-open access
• Color: Black (surface finish as supplied)

How to use

Mount the metal flip box to a suitable flat surface using appropriate screws and wall anchors. Open the flip box to access the keystone opening area, feed the network cables into the enclosure and secure them with the supplied cable clamp to provide strain relief. Terminate each twisted-pair onto the CAT6A keystone modules following the T568A or T568B wiring standard required by your network. Snap the keystones into the panel openings, check continuity and pairing with a cable tester, then close the flip box for a clean, protected installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Number of required ports — four ports are provided; larger deployments may need higher-density panels
• Cabling standard compatibility — ensure use of CAT6A cabling to achieve specified performance
• Mounting location and clearance — verify surface depth and fixation points for the slim-line metal box
• Preferred wiring scheme (T568A vs T568B) and availability of keystone modules pre-assembled in the unit

Usage recommendations

For consistent CAT6A performance, use high-quality CAT6A-rated patch cords and maintain proper bend radius and separation from electrical cabling. After termination, test each port with a certified cable tester to confirm pair integrity and performance. When installing in visible areas, tighten the metal enclosure and mounting hardware to avoid rattling and to maintain a professional appearance.
