The RJ45 Keystone module from Synergy 21, type S216318V2, is a shielded network module for use in patch panels, distribution panels, and trunk rings with Keystone cutouts. It is specifically designed for installation in compact environments where an installation height of only 20 mm is sufficient. The module complies with Category Cat.6A and is therefore suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Termination is quick and easy without the need for special tools, making it particularly suitable for professional network installations.

Applications

The module is intended for use in structured cabling systems, particularly in offices, server rooms, data centers, and other environments where high data transfer rates and reliability are required. It is suitable for both round cables and solid conductors in the AWG22-24 range. Use in distribution panels and trunk rings with Keystone cutouts enables a flexible and modular network design.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The module features a blade clamp as the termination method, enabling fast and reliable connections. Identification follows TIA/EIA 568 A/B color codes, with the color code directly printed on the cable organizer. This simplifies cable assignment and management. The cable organizer is compact and supports efficient management of cable pairs. The maximum cable diameter is 8.5 mm, covering a wide range of cable types.

Technology Explained Simply

The module is fully shielded and offers 360° shield contact, effectively shielding against electromagnetic interference. The shielding and strain relief are separately implemented, increasing mechanical stability and electrical performance. The insulation resistance is 500 MΩ, ensuring high electrical insulation. The housing is made of zinc die-cast, providing high mechanical stability and durability. The operating temperature ranges from -10 °C to +70 °C, enabling broad application in various environments. The insertion cycles amount to 750, ensuring high mechanical load capacity and durability of the module.

Compatibility and Accessories

The module is designed for use in distribution panels and trunk rings with Keystone cutouts. It is compatible with AWG22-24 cables and supports both round cables and solid conductors. The mounting hole size is h19.7 mm / b14.8 mm, enabling standardized installation. The module size is 39.5 mm × 16.2 mm × 21.4 mm, with an installation height of 20 mm enabling a compact installation.

Installation and Mounting

Mounting is done by simply inserting into the Keystone cutouts of patch panels, distribution panels, or trunk rings. Termination is done without special tools, allowing for quick and efficient installation. The blade clamp enables a secure and reliable cable connection.

Operational Advantages

The module offers high reliability and durability due to the use of zinc die-cast and 750 insertion cycles. The full shielding and 360° shield contact ensure high interference resistance and data integrity. The compact design and easy installation reduce mounting time and increase efficiency in network construction. Identification according to TIA/EIA 568 A/B color codes simplifies network management and maintenance.
