Patch Panel 12xTP CAT6A with Keystone, Slim-line Short, Dust Cover, Surface-Mount Metal Flip Box, Synergy21 S216384/S216338V2

The Synergy21 Patch Panel 12xTP CAT6A with Keystone is a surface-mount termination panel designed for 12 RJ45 keystone ports and engineered to meet CAT6A performance levels. Housed in a slim-line short metal flip box with an integrated dust protection flap, this unit provides a compact, tidy solution for wall-mounted installations. It includes keystone modules for straightforward patching and is intended for structured cabling where high-speed Ethernet and reliable terminations are required.

Advantages

The compact slim-line short design minimises wall space while the metal flip box offers mechanical protection and a professional appearance. Integrated dust cover flap helps protect unused ports from contamination. Inclusion of keystone modules simplifies installation and offers compatibility with standard RJ45 keystone jacks. The panel is suitable for CAT6A cabling, supporting higher bandwidth and improved noise immunity compared with lower-category terminations.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and network closets requiring surface-mounted patching
• Office network installs where a compact wall-mounted distribution point is needed
• Structured cabling projects using CAT6A twisted-pair cabling
• Environments where a dust-protected, neat termination point is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This slim-line short surface-mount panel is not intended for flush or recessed installations that require in-wall mounting. It is designed for keystone-style jacks; systems relying on non-keystone or proprietary connector formats will not be compatible without adapter parts. Environments requiring extensive environmental sealing beyond a dust flap, such as outdoor or wet locations, may require purpose-built enclosure solutions.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 12 keystone-compatible ports
• Performance category: CAT6A (suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair where cabling supports it)
• Form factor: slim-line short surface-mount metal flip box
• Protection: integrated dust protection flap for unused ports
• Mounting: surface/wall-mount installation
• Colour: black (housing finish)

How to use

Mount the metal flip box on a suitable flat wall surface using appropriate fixings for the substrate. Terminate incoming CAT6A twisted-pair cables into compatible keystone jacks and snap them into the panel’s keystone openings. Use the dust protection flap to cover unused ports and close the metal flip box to protect terminations. Label ports as required for network documentation and verify terminations with appropriate cable testers and network performance tests after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the use of keystone-compatible RJ45 jacks and compatibility with CAT6A cabling
• Check available wall space and mounting surface to ensure suitability for a surface-mount box
• Verify that a slim-line short form factor meets capacity and accessibility needs for your installation
• Ensure environmental requirements (e.g., moisture resistance) are met by the chosen enclosure type

Usage recommendations

Use the panel as a compact, surface-mounted distribution point for CAT6A structured cabling. After termination, perform pair continuity and certification tests to confirm CAT6A performance and secure the flip box to maintain neat, dust-protected connections.
