Server Technology C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 415V 3-Phase Rack PDU

Overview

The Server Technology C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 is a 415V 3-phase power distribution unit built for data center racks that need high-density, code-compliant power without a second electrician visit down the line. It runs on a 415V 3-phase feed with a 60309 3P+N+PE connector and terminates in a mix of 18 C13 and 18 C19 (CX) outlets — enough outlet density to cover a full rack of servers, switches, and storage shelves from one PDU. TAA compliance on the C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 matters for any integrator quoting into a government, education, or federal-adjacent contract where sourcing rules are checked line by line. This unit is a straightforward pick for facilities already standardized on 415V 3-phase infrastructure and 60309 pin-and-sleeve wiring — the connector type on this SKU, C2S36TE-5PAE2N99, is not something you adapt to a 208V single-phase panel without an electrician involved.

Key Features

• 415V 3-Phase Input: Matches the higher-voltage 3-phase standard common in EU-derived and large-scale North American data center builds — pulling more power per amp than a 208V circuit means fewer whips and panels needed to feed the same rack load.
• 6BR30A Breaker Configuration: Six 30A branch circuit breakers segment the load across the unit, so a fault or overload on one breaker trips locally instead of taking down every outlet on the strip — critical when a single rack hosts mixed customer or department workloads.
• 60309 3P+N+PE Inlet: The IEC 60309 pin-and-sleeve connector with neutral and protective earth is the standard for industrial and data center 3-phase circuits — it's keyed by voltage and current rating, so miswiring at the panel is far less likely than with a generic plug.
• 18x C13 Outlets: Standard IEC C13 receptacles cover the majority of server, switch, and storage power cords rated up to 10A — the outlet most rack gear ships with by default.
• 18x C19 (CX) Outlets: Higher-current C19 outlets handle blade chassis, high-draw servers, and storage arrays that pull more than a C13 cord is rated for — having both C13 and C19 on one strip means you're not stuck reordering power cords to match the PDU.
• 36 Total Outlets: Combined C13/C19 count of 36 outlets on a single unit reduces the number of PDUs you need per rack, which also reduces the number of upstream breaker positions and cable runs to manage.
• TAA Compliance: Verified Trade Agreements Act compliance on the C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 lets this unit go into federal and federally-funded procurement without a compliance exception request.

Integration & Compatibility

Because the C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 (often searched as C2S36TE 5PAE2N99) terminates in a 60309 3P+N+PE plug, confirm your upstream panel or whip is wired for 415V 3-phase with neutral and ground before ordering — this is not a drop-in replacement for a 120V or 208V single-phase strip. Pair it with rack server racks and cabinets sized to fit a vertical zero-U mount, and route cabling per your power distribution units category standards for consistent labeling across a multi-rack deployment. If you're still finalizing rack power design, a PoE and power planning guide can help confirm breaker sizing and load balancing before this unit goes on order. For facilities running network video recorders or other 3-phase-fed equipment in the same rack row, standardizing on the same 60309 connector type across PDUs simplifies spare-parts stocking and reduces the chance of a mismatched whip on a future install. Browse the broader Server Technology catalog if your build needs a different outlet mix or breaker configuration in the same connector family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 carries verified TAA compliance, making it eligible for federal and federally-funded procurement without a sourcing exception.

Q: What voltage and phase does the C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 require?

A: It requires a 415V 3-phase feed terminating in a 60309 3P+N+PE connector. It is not compatible with a standard 120V or 208V single-phase circuit without electrical rework.

Q: How many outlets does the C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 have?

A: 36 total outlets: 18 C13 and 18 C19 (CX), distributed across six 30A branch circuit breakers.

Q: What connector type does the C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 use for input power?

A: A 60309 3P+N+PE pin-and-sleeve inlet, the standard industrial connector for 3-phase circuits with neutral and protective earth.

Q: What breaker protection does the C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 provide?

A: Six 30A branch circuit breakers (6BR30A configuration) segment the outlet groups so a single overload doesn't take down the entire unit.

The C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 crosses my desk whenever a customer is standardizing a rack row on 415V 3-phase instead of stepping down to 208V — with 36 outlets split 18/18 between C13 and C19, it's sized for a full rack of mixed server and storage gear on one strip.

Technical Highlights:

• 415V 3-Phase / 60309 3P+N+PE Inlet: Pulls more capacity per circuit than 208V single-phase, and the keyed pin-and-sleeve connector rules out a mis-plugged panel at commissioning.
• 6BR30A Breaker Bank: Six 30A breakers isolate faults to a subset of outlets instead of the whole 36-outlet strip going dark.
• 18x C13 / 18x C19 Mix: Covers both standard-draw servers and higher-current blade or storage chassis without swapping power cords.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the upstream whip is actually terminated for 415V 3-phase with neutral and ground before this unit ships to site — the 60309 3P+N+PE inlet won't adapt to a 208V panel.
• With 36 outlets on six 30A breakers, plan load balancing across phases up front rather than after the rack is populated.

Right fit for a data center or colocation build standardizing on 415V 3-phase distribution across a rack row, where TAA compliance is also a procurement requirement — the C2S36TE-5PAE2N99 checks both boxes in one PDU.
