Server Technology C1S36TA-YQME2799 3-Phase 60A Rack PDU

Overview

The Server Technology C1S36TA-YQME2799 is a 3-phase, 0U rackmount power distribution unit built for high-density server and network racks that need more outlet count and power headroom than a standard 1U strip can deliver. Rated for 17.3kW at 208V AC across a 60A input, this PRO1 Smart series PDU is sized for full server cabinets, blade enclosures, and consolidated network racks where a single power path needs to feed dozens of devices reliably. The C1S36TA-YQME2799 (often searched as C1S36TA YQME2799) mounts vertically along the rack's rear rail rather than occupying rack unit space, which matters when every U of usable rack height is already spoken for.

Key Features

• 36 total outlets (18x C13 + 18x CX): The C13 outlets handle standard servers, switches, and storage arrays, while the CX outlets support locking or higher-retention cord connections — useful in racks where accidental cord disconnects during maintenance are a real risk, not a hypothetical one.
• 17.3kW total power capacity: That headroom lets you consolidate power distribution for a fully loaded rack of servers and network gear onto fewer PDUs, which simplifies both cabling and capacity planning across a row.
• 60A input current at 208V AC, 3-phase: Three-phase input balances load more evenly across phases than single-phase feeds at equivalent capacity, which reduces the odds of tripping a breaker when a rack's draw spikes during boot storms or firmware updates.
• IEC 60309 3P+N+E input connector: This is a locking industrial-grade plug standard for data center and telecom power whips, not a household-style connector — confirm your facility's whip termination matches before ordering.
• 10ft input cord length: Long enough to reach a rack's overhead or under-floor power whip in most cabinet layouts without requiring an extension or a relocated drop.
• 0U rackmount, 70-inch height form factor: Because it mounts in the vertical rear channel instead of consuming horizontal rack units, the full 70 inches of usable rack space stays available for compute and network equipment.
• 1.75-inch width, 3-inch depth profile: A narrow footprint that fits standard rear-channel mounting brackets on most enterprise rack frames without interfering with cable management arms or rear-door airflow.
• 50/60 Hz frequency support: Works across both North American (60Hz) and international (50Hz) power standards, relevant if this unit is being specified for a mixed-region deployment or a facility standard that spans both.
• 208 VAC output voltage: Matches the input voltage directly, meaning no step-down conversion loss between the whip and the connected equipment.

Integration & Compatibility

The C1S36TA-YQME2799 is part of the Server Technology PDU catalog, sized specifically for racks that have outgrown single-phase or lower-outlet-count PDUs. If you're planning power for a new row of racks rather than retrofitting one cabinet, it's worth reviewing a power distribution planning guide before finalizing outlet count and phase configuration — getting the input current and phase count wrong at the design stage is expensive to fix after cabling is run. This unit pairs naturally with rack-mounted server and NVR hardware drawing power through C13 or CX cords, and fits into broader rack PDU deployments where multiple 0U units are stacked vertically per cabinet. For racks also running structured cabling, coordinate PDU placement with your cable management accessories plan so the rear channel doesn't get overcrowded between power and data runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the total power capacity of the C1S36TA-YQME2799?

A: 17.3kW at 208V AC, delivered through a 60A, 3-phase input.

Q: How many outlets does the C1S36TA-YQME2799 have?

A: 36 total outlets — 18x C13 and 18x CX.

Q: Does the C1S36TA-YQME2799 mount in a standard rack unit space?

A: No. It's a 0U rackmount unit that installs in the vertical rear channel of the rack rather than occupying horizontal rack units.

Q: What input connector does the C1S36TA-YQME2799 use?

A: An IEC 60309 3P+N+E connector with a 10ft cord.

Q: Is the C1S36TA-YQME2799 single-phase or 3-phase?

A: 3-phase, rated for 208V AC input and output.

The C1S36TA-YQME2799 is one of those PDUs you spec when a rack's outlet count has become the actual constraint, not the power budget. At 36 outlets and 17.3kW on a 60A 3-phase input, this thing is built to feed a full cabinet without daisy-chaining a second unit.

Technical Highlights:

• 18x C13 + 18x CX outlet mix: Splitting outlet types this way gives you standard IEC power for most servers and locking-style retention on the CX side for gear that can't afford an accidental unplug.
• 60A 3-phase input at 208V: Balances load across three phases instead of stacking everything on one leg — cuts down on nuisance breaker trips when a rack's draw isn't perfectly steady.
• 0U form factor at 70 inches tall: Mounts in the rear vertical channel, so you're not sacrificing a single rack unit of usable equipment space to get 36 outlets of distribution.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your power whip terminates in an IEC 60309 3P+N+E receptacle before ordering — this isn't a plug you rewire on-site casually.
• At 1.75 inches wide, it fits standard rear-channel brackets, but check clearance against any existing cable management arms before the install day, not during it.

This is the right call for a data center or telecom equipment room row where each cabinet is being built out to full capacity and you want one PDU per rack handling the whole load — not a fit for a half-populated rack that doesn't need 36 outlets yet.
