Patch Panel 12xTP Synergy21 S216384/S216380 CAT6A with Keystone, Short, Cable Clamp, Surface-Mount Metal Flip Box, Black

The Synergy21 Patch Panel 12xTP CAT6A is a compact, surface-mount metal flip box designed to terminate and organise up to twelve CAT6A network connections. Supplied with keystone ports and an integrated cable clamp, this short patch panel suits installations in small racks, wall-mounted setups or communication cabinets where space is limited but high-performance CAT6A links are needed. The black finish and metal housing provide a discreet, robust enclosure for structured cabling applications.

Advantages

This 12-port CAT6A patch panel consolidates multiple network terminations into a single, space-saving unit. The inclusion of keystone-compatible ports enables flexible choice of jacks and components while simplifying future changes. The built-in cable clamp secures conductors to reduce strain on terminations and maintain consistent contact quality. The surface-mount metal flip box construction offers mechanical protection and easy access for maintenance or reconfiguration.

Suitable for

• Small server rooms and network closets where a short, surface-mounted patch panel is required
• Wall-mounted installations in offices, retail or industrial environments
• Communication cabinets and compact racks with CAT6A structured cabling
• Sites requiring keystone modularity for mixed connector types or staged upgrades

When it may not be suitable

This short, surface-mount design is not ideal where a full-width 19-inch rack-mounted patch panel is required or preferred for large-scale installations. It may not be suitable for environments that demand higher port density, extensive cable management features, or integrated active components.

Key specifications

• Port count: 12 keystone-compatible ports
• Performance class: CAT6A-rated termination
• Mounting type: surface-mount metal flip box
• Cable management: integrated cable clamp for strain relief
• Housing material and colour: metal enclosure, black finish

How to use

Mount the metal flip box to a suitable flat surface or inside a small cabinet using appropriate screws and wall anchors. Terminate each incoming CAT6A cable onto keystone jacks or modules compatible with the panel, following standard wiring schemes (TIA/EIA or applicable local standards). Use the integrated cable clamp to secure cable bundles and relieve strain before inserting modules into the keystone openings. Once populated, route patch cords to network devices or switches and keep labels on ports for straightforward identification and maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify required performance: confirm CAT6A meets your bandwidth and shielding needs
• Check compatibility of keystone jacks or modules you plan to install
• Ensure available mounting space and clearance for a surface-mounted flip box
• Assess port count requirements to confirm 12 ports are sufficient for your installation

Usage recommendations

Install using proper cable preparation and termination tools, maintain minimum bend radii for CAT6A cables, and label each port after termination to simplify future troubleshooting and upgrades.
