Server Technology C1L36CA-DQME2766 Monitored 3-Phase Rack PDU

Overview

The Server Technology C1L36CA-DQME2766 is a monitored three-phase power distribution unit built for data center racks that need high outlet density without sacrificing per-circuit visibility. With 36 total receptacles split across two connector types and a 17.30 kW power rating at 230V AC, this unit is sized for dense server or network gear deployments where a single rack draws serious load. The C1L36CA-DQME2766 terminates to an IEC 60309 3P+G 9Hr plug rated for 60A input, so confirm your data center's whip and receptacle configuration matches before ordering.

Key Features

• 36 total outlets (24x IEC 60320 C13, 12x IEC 60320 C19): mixed receptacle count covers standard servers on C13 and higher-draw equipment like switches or blade enclosures on C19, without needing a second PDU in the rack.
• Monitored PDU type: gives you visibility into power draw at the strip level, useful for capacity planning before you're surprised by a tripped breaker mid-deployment.
• Three-phase, 230V AC, 60A input: higher power density per rack unit than single-phase equivalents, which matters when you're trying to fit more compute into the same footprint.
• 17.30 kW power rating: headroom for fully loaded racks running dense server or storage hardware, not just edge switches and access points.
• Overload protection, double pole: breaker protection on both poles reduces the chance a single fault trips power to the whole strip.
• RJ-45 network interface: lets you pull monitoring data remotely instead of walking the data center floor to check load on each strip.
• 0U rack-mountable, vertical form factor: mounts in the rack's rear channel rather than consuming horizontal rack units, so your usable 1U/2U server space stays untouched.
• RoHS and WEEE compliant: relevant if your facility or customer contracts require documented environmental compliance on installed hardware.

Integration & Compatibility

Because the C1L36CA-DQME2766 (often searched as C1L36CA DQME2766) uses an IEC 60309 3P+G 9Hr plug, confirm your facility's power distribution units whip termination matches before install — this is not a NEMA plug and won't drop into a standard duplex outlet. Pair it with compatible rack enclosures that have rear vertical mounting rails, and review your power planning guide before finalizing rack elevation to make sure amperage and outlet count line up with your actual server load. The RJ-45 monitoring interface integrates into existing network management workflows for remote load checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many outlets does the C1L36CA-DQME2766 have?

A: 36 total: 24x IEC 60320 C13 and 12x IEC 60320 C19.

Q: What's the input power configuration?

A: Three-phase, 230V AC, 60A input, terminating in an IEC 60309 3P+G 9Hr plug.

Q: Is this PDU monitored?

A: Yes, it's a monitored PDU type with an RJ-45 network interface for remote load visibility.

Q: What's the warranty on the C1L36CA-DQME2766?

A: 2-year manufacturer warranty.

Q: How is the C1L36CA-DQME2766 mounted?

A: It's rack-mountable in a 0U vertical configuration, so it doesn't consume horizontal rack unit space.

Ted Perry

The C1L36CA-DQME2766 crosses my desk when a customer is trying to consolidate outlet count on a three-phase circuit without giving up monitoring. 36 outlets on one strip, split 24 C13 to 12 C19, covers a mixed rack of servers and heavier network gear on a single unit.

Technical Highlights:

• 17.30 kW at 230V/60A three-phase: enough headroom for a fully populated rack of dense compute, not just a handful of switches.
• Double-pole overload protection: breaker protection on both poles limits the blast radius of a single circuit fault.
• RJ-45 monitored interface: pull load data remotely instead of physically checking strip-level draw during capacity audits.

Deployment Considerations:

• The IEC 60309 3P+G 9Hr plug is not a standard NEMA connector — confirm your whip termination before this ships, because field-swapping plugs on a 60A three-phase PDU isn't a five-minute job.
• At 0U and a 70-inch height, this mounts vertically in the rack's rear channel — plan cable management space accordingly, since it runs the full height of a standard rack.

This is the right call for a data center rack running mixed C13/C19 server and switch loads on three-phase power where you need outlet-level headroom and remote monitoring in one strip, not a small edge closet on single-phase power.
