Server Technology C1S24SP2CAA4A6/C 2U Rack-Mount Basic PDU

The Server Technology C1S24SP2CAA4A6/C is a 2U rack-mount power distribution unit built for data center and server room cabinets that need a high outlet count in a compact footprint. It's rated 208V at 30A, fed through a NEMA L6-30P twist-lock input plug, and splits that capacity across 18 C13 outlets plus 6 combination C13/C19 (CX) outlets — 24 total outlets from a single 2U rack space. At 18 lbs, it mounts into standard 19-inch racks without eating significant weight budget or requiring reinforced rail hardware.

Overview

This is a basic (non-metered, non-switched) PDU in Server Technology's Smart line, sold under mfg. part number C1S24SP-2CAA4A6/C. It's positioned for server, network, and storage racks where the priority is outlet density and reliable 208V distribution rather than remote monitoring or per-outlet switching. The C1S24SP2CAA4A6/C is a straightforward answer to a common rack-build problem: too many devices, not enough outlets, and not enough rack units to spare on power hardware.

Key Features

• 24 total outlets (18x C13 + 6x CX): the 18 standard C13 outlets handle servers, switches, and network appliances with standard IEC power cords, while the 6 combination C13/C19 (CX) outlets accept either connector type — useful when a handful of devices in the rack pull higher current and ship with C19 cords instead of C13.
• 2U form factor: outlet-dense PDUs at this count often run 2U or larger; keeping it to 2U instead of 3U leaves more usable rack space for compute and storage in a standard 42U cabinet.
• 208V / 30A rated circuit: matches standard commercial data center branch circuits, so it drops into existing 208V/30A whip or receptacle infrastructure without a transformer or step-down.
• NEMA L6-30P twist-lock input: a locking plug reduces the risk of accidental disconnection in a busy rack row compared to a straight-blade plug — important on a PDU feeding 24 downstream devices.
• 18 lbs unit weight: light enough for a single technician to rack and secure without a lift, which matters when you're doing a multi-PDU build-out across several cabinets in one day.

Integration & Compatibility

The C1S24SP2CAA4A6/C is a passive distribution unit — it delivers 208V/30A service to whatever IEC-corded equipment sits in the rack, from servers and switches to network video recorders and other rack-mount appliances. Because it draws on a 208V/30A circuit rather than standard 120V, confirm your facility's rack power whip matches before ordering; mismatched voltage plans are one of the most common PDU return reasons in data center builds.

A: Available documentation for this SKU does not indicate switching or metering features — treat it as a basic distribution unit unless confirmed otherwise at time of quote.

James Everett

The outlet count is what stands out on the C1S24SP2CAA4A6/C — 24 total receptacles in 2U is a lot of density, and it's why this unit shows up in racks where you're consolidating power for a full shelf of 1U servers or switches instead of running two separate PDUs.

Technical Highlights:

• 18x C13 + 6x C13/C19 combo outlets: the combo (CX) outlets give you flexibility for the handful of devices in most racks that ship with a C19 cord instead of C13, without needing a separate high-current PDU.
• 208V/30A via NEMA L6-30P: a twist-lock input this size is standard for data center branch circuits — no adapters, no step-down, just confirm the whip matches before you order.
• 2U / 18 lbs: dense outlet count without eating 3+ rack units, and light enough to rack solo during a build-out.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a basic distribution unit — plan your monitoring and remote-switching strategy separately if the rack requires it, since nothing in the available spec sheet confirms metering or outlet-level switching on this model.
• Verify your facility circuit is actually 208V/30A with an L6-30R receptacle before install; a 30A twist-lock PDU won't drop into a 120V or straight-blade circuit.

Reach for the C1S24SP2CAA4A6/C when you're standing up a dense server or network cabinet on a 208V/30A circuit and need more outlets than a standard 8-12 port PDU offers, without giving up more than 2U of rack space to do it.
