Patch Panel 12xTP CAT6A with Keystones, Slim-line Aufputz Metallklappbox, Black — Synergy21 S216384/S216318V3

The Synergy21 Patch Panel 12xTP CAT6A with Keystones in a slim-line surface-mounted metal enclosure provides twelve shielded RJ45 ports in a compact, wall-mountable black housing. Designed for structured cabling in small server rooms, offices and network cabinets, this unit combines CAT6A performance with factory-fitted keystone modules and a durable Aufputz metallklappbox that offers a low-profile, professionally finished appearance while protecting terminations from dust and mechanical damage.

Advantages

This patch panel supports CAT6A performance across twelve shielded ports, enabling 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and improved alien crosstalk protection compared to lower category panels. Delivered with keystone modules pre-installed, it simplifies installation by eliminating the need to terminate individual jacks on site. The slim-line metal surface-mounted enclosure provides robust mechanical protection, EMI shielding and a neat exterior suitable for visible mounting on walls or in small racks. The black finish offers a discreet appearance in office and technical environments.

Suitable for

• Small server rooms and network closets where space is limited
• Office networks requiring shielded CAT6A connectivity for 10 Gbps links
• Surface-mounted installations on walls where a compact metal enclosure is preferred
• Environments that benefit from pre-loaded keystone modules to reduce onsite termination time

When it may not be suitable

This patch panel is intended for surface-mounted applications and may not be appropriate for flush or recessed installations that require in-wall mounting. It is supplied as a 12-port unit; larger installations that need higher port density or full rack-mounted solutions will require additional or different panels. The product is furnished with keystone modules—if custom or different keystone types are required, verify compatibility before purchase.

Key specifications

• Port count: 12 shielded RJ45 ports
• Category: CAT6A performance (suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Keystone: Pre-installed keystone modules (shielded)
• Enclosure type: Slim-line surface-mounted metal box with hinged/flip cover
• Mounting: Wall-mountable / surface-mounted
• Finish/color: Black
• Application: Structured cabling for small server rooms, offices, network closets

How to use

Mount the slim-line metal box securely to a suitable wall or flat surface using appropriate fixings for the substrate. Route shielded copper cabling to the rear entry or side entries of the enclosure as allowed by the box design, maintain proper cable bend radii and separate power cabling as required by local codes. Terminate each shielded twisted-pair cable pair to the corresponding keystone module following the color code printed on the module or manufacturer instructions, then snap the keystones into the panel ports if not already fitted. Close the hinged cover and if necessary bond the enclosure shield to building earthing using the designated grounding point to preserve EMC performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that CAT6A shielded cabling and connectors in your installation are compatible with pre-installed keystone types.
• Confirm available wall space and mounting method suits a surface-mounted metal box rather than in-wall or rack-mount solutions.
• Ensure grounding/earthing arrangements are available where shield continuity and EMI performance are required.
• Assess whether 12 ports meet current and future port-density needs or if multiple panels will be required.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use certified CAT6A shielded patch cords and maintain correct cable installation practices: avoid tight bends, separate data and power lines, and ensure a single-point ground connection for the shielded panel to minimise interference and preserve 10 Gbps link stability.
