Server Technology C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 3-Phase 50A Switched Rack PDU

The Server Technology C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 is a 0U rackmount power distribution unit built for data center cabinets that need serious outlet density without eating into usable rack space. Part of the PRO2 Smart POPS series, this 3-phase unit runs on a 208V 50A CS8365 input and delivers 36 individually configurable HDOT outlets across a combined power capacity of 14.4kW — the kind of headroom that matters when you're stacking blade chassis, top-of-rack switches, and storage arrays on a single cabinet feed. If you're planning capacity for a new data center build or refreshing an aging rack PDU that's run out of outlets, the C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 is worth putting on the shortlist.

Overview

This unit is a 3-phase, 0U vertical PDU, meaning it mounts along the side rail of the rack rather than consuming a horizontal rack unit — a real consideration when every 1U or 2U of rack space is already spoken for by compute or storage. Zero-U mounting keeps your front and rear rack unit counts untouched, which matters most in colocation environments where every U is billed. The CS8365 input plug is a locking 50A connector standard in enterprise data center whip and PDU-drop wiring, so confirm your facility's branch circuit and receptacle match before ordering — a 50A CS8365 feed is not interchangeable with lower-amperage or single-phase drops.

Key Features

• 36 x HDOT Configurable Outlets: HDOT (High Density Outlet Technology) outlets accept a mix of connector types on a single PDU faceplate, so you're not locked into one receptacle style across an entire rack of mixed equipment — useful when a cabinet holds a blend of C13/C19-style loads from different vendors.
• 50A Input Current at 208V: A 50A/208V 3-phase input translates to 14.4kW of usable capacity, which supports considerably more IT load per rack than a standard 20A or 30A single-phase drop — fewer PDUs and fewer whip drops needed per row.
• 3-Phase Power Delivery: Distributing load across three phases balances current draw more evenly than single-phase distribution, reducing the risk of tripping a branch circuit when a rack is fully populated with redundant power supplies pulling from both PDU sides.
• 14.4kW Power Capacity: That capacity figure lets you plan rack density up front — match it against your projected server and network gear draw (including PSU redundancy overhead) before committing a rack's power budget to this single unit.
• 0U Rackmount Form Factor: Vertical, zero-U mounting means the C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 runs the full height of the rack along the rail, keeping horizontal U space entirely free for servers, switches, and cable management.
• PRO2 Smart POPS Series Platform: The PRO2 Smart POPS line is Server Technology's rack PDU platform for the outlet density and phase configurations this unit is built around, positioning it for mid-to-large enterprise and colocation cabinets rather than small edge closets.

Integration & Compatibility

Before ordering the C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 (often searched as C2SG36CE DFME2M00), verify your data center's whip termination matches the CS8365 input — this is a locking, twist-type connector common in enterprise power distribution, and mismatched plug types are the single most common install delay on 3-phase PDU orders. Confirm your electrical contractor or facilities team has the branch circuit rated for 50A 3-phase before the unit arrives on site, since this is not a plug-and-play 120V device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What input voltage and current does the C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 require?

A: It requires a 208V, 3-phase, 50A circuit terminating in a CS8365 locking plug.

Q: How many outlets does the C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 have?

A: It has 36 total outlets, using HDOT configurable connectors that support mixed receptacle types on one unit.

Q: What is the total power capacity of this PDU?

A: The unit is rated for 14.4kW total power capacity across its 3-phase 208V input.

Q: Is the C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 a rack-mounted or 0U unit?

A: It's a 0U rackmount unit, designed to mount vertically along the rack rail without consuming horizontal rack space.

Q: What product series is the C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 part of?

A: It belongs to Server Technology's PRO2 Smart POPS series.

The C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 crosses my desk most often when a customer is standing up new high-density cabinets and has run out of outlets on their existing single-phase PDUs. At 36 outlets and 14.4kW off a 208V 3-phase 50A feed, this one is built to carry a fully loaded rack rather than a half-empty edge closet.

Technical Highlights:

• 36 x HDOT Configurable Outlets: lets you mix connector types across one PDU faceplate instead of ordering separate units for C13 versus C19 loads.
• 50A / 208V 3-Phase Input: works out to 14.4kW of rack-level capacity — enough to cover dense compute and storage racks with dual-corded redundant PSUs.
• 0U Vertical Form Factor: mounts along the rack rail, so it doesn't cost you a single U of usable server or switch space.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your whip terminates in a CS8365 plug before this ships — it's a locking 3-phase connector, not a standard NEMA drop, and it's the most common install snag on 3-phase PDU orders.
• Because this is a 3-phase 50A circuit, get your electrical contractor to verify branch circuit rating ahead of delivery; this isn't a device you retrofit onto a 120V single-phase whip.

I'd point the C2SG36CE-DFME2M00 at a colocation or enterprise data center cabinet refresh where the existing PDU has run out of outlets and the facility already runs 3-phase 208V branch circuits to the row — that's exactly the load profile this unit is sized for.
