The product from Synergy 21 is a module carrier for surface mounting, equipped with four Keystone modules. It serves as a patch panel for connecting network cables in the field of structured cabling. The device is finished in white and made of ABS plastic, ensuring a robust and durable construction. The Keystone modules are designed for installation of RJ45 connectors (8P8C) and provide connection options for network devices in the CAT6A standard, specified up to a frequency of 500 MHz. The slim-line design with a width of 20 mm allows for compact installation, especially in limited installation environments.

Applications
This patch panel is suitable for use in office and industrial facilities where structured network cabling is required. It is mounted on walls and serves as a central interface for connecting network cables to end devices such as computers, switches, or PoE-enabled devices. The use of CAT6A modules ensures high data transfer rates and is suitable for applications with high bandwidth requirements, such as video transmission or cloud connections. The surface mounting makes it particularly flexible, as no deep wall cutouts are required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The Keystone modules are equipped with an IDC terminal for cables in AWG sizes 22 to 26 (equivalent to 0.40 mm to 0.65 mm). Cable diameters range from 5.0 mm to 8.5 mm, enabling broad compatibility with common network cables. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze with tin plating, ensuring good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The RJ45 connectors are manufactured with a gold-plated contact made of phosphor bronze, enhancing contact quality and lifespan. The modules are designed for a mechanical life of at least 750 mating cycles.

Technology Explained Simply
The Keystone modules are designed for use with CAT6A cabling, which supports a frequency bandwidth up to 500 MHz. This corresponds to Category Class EA according to ISO/IEC 11801 Ed.2.2:2011-06 and DIN EN 50173-1:2011-09. The cabling is thus suitable for applications with high data rate requirements, such as Gigabit Ethernet and beyond. The modules support PoE (Power over Ethernet) according to IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at (PoE+), and IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++), enabling power supply over the network cable. The 360° shielding connection ensures effective protection against electromagnetic interference, enhancing signal quality. Fluke test compliance for Permanent Link PL2 (ISO/IEC 11801) guarantees adherence to standards for a durable, reliable connection.

Compatibility and Accessories
The Keystone modules are designed for use with RJ45 connectors (8P8C) and are compatible with CAT6A cabling. The module carriers are intended for wall mounting and require no additional mounting accessories. The delivery includes the four Keystone modules, which are integrated into the module carrier. Additionally, the delivery includes a cable tie (75 x 1.9 mm) and a copper foil strip, which are used for shielding and securing the cables. An instruction manual is also included in the delivery.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done on the wall by securing the module carrier with the included screws (ST4 x 20 mm). Installation of the Keystone modules is done by simply inserting them into the designated holders. Cables are connected via the IDC terminal, with cable diameters required to be between 5.0 mm and 8.5 mm. Installation can be done without special tools, as the modules are directly inserted into the holder. The instruction manual included in the delivery supports correct installation.

Advantages in Operation
The use of CAT6A modules ensures high data transfer rates and minimizes signal interference. PoE support enables power supply to end devices over the network cable, simplifying installation. The 360° shielding connection provides effective shielding, enhancing signal quality in sensitive environments. The robust construction from ABS plastic and the high mechanical lifespan of the contacts ensure long-term, reliable use. The slim-line design enables compact installation, which is advantageous in space-limited installations.

Operating Environment
The operating temperature ranges from -10 °C to +60 °C, and the storage temperature ranges from -40 °C to +70 °C. The modules are therefore suitable for indoor use, with the operating temperature covering typical conditions in offices and technical rooms. Compliance with RoHS 3.0 and REACH ensures that the materials used are environmentally compatible.
