Server Technology C2S36CE-YCMFAM66 Monitored Rack PDU

The C2S36CE-YCMFAM66 is a monitored rack power distribution unit from the Server Technology catalog built to feed mixed-load server and network racks off a single 8.6kW, 230V AC circuit. It's the kind of unit you spec when a rack has a blend of servers, switches, and legacy single-phase gear all needing power from one vertical or horizontal PDU, and you need visibility into load without walking the row. C2S36CE-YCMFAM66 (often searched as C2S36CE YCMFAM66) pairs a high-density outlet layout with a locking input plug rated for the full load.

Overview

This is a monitored PDU, meaning it reports power draw at the unit level rather than requiring a separate meter — useful for capacity planning across a row of rack-mounted equipment where overloading a circuit means downtime, not just a tripped breaker. Rack-mountable form factor fits standard cabinet rail systems.

Key Features

• 8.6kW max power capacity: sizes cleanly for a mixed rack of servers and network gear without oversubscribing the circuit — check your rack's total draw against this ceiling before populating every outlet.
• NEMA L21-30P input connector: a locking twist-plug input, which matters in a data hall where a loose IEC cord getting bumped loose means an unplanned outage.
• 24x IEC 60320 C13 outlets: the standard outlet for servers, switches, and most 1U/2U equipment power supplies — 24 of them covers a dense rack without daisy-chaining.
• 12x IEC 60320 C19 outlets: higher-current outlets for blade chassis, larger switches, and PDU-fed UPS units that draw more than a C13 cord is rated for.
• 3x NEMA 5-20R outlets: standard North American outlets for equipment that ships with a domestic power cord instead of an IEC connector — monitors, some networking appliances, or test gear.
• 230V AC: matches higher-voltage data center distribution, which pulls less current than 120V for the same wattage — less heat in the whip and smaller conductor requirements upstream.
• Network interface (RJ-45): puts the unit on the management network for remote load monitoring, so you can check outlet-level or unit-level draw without physical access to the rack.
• Rack-mountable form factor: installs into standard rack rail without custom brackets.

Integration & Compatibility

With 39 total outlets across three connector types, the C2S36CE-YCMFAM66 works as the single power backbone for a rack that mixes server-grade C13/C19 gear with NEMA-corded peripherals — pair it with a PoE network switch or NVR in the same cabinet to consolidate power management under one monitored unit. If you're planning rack power budgets across multiple cabinets, review a PoE and power planning guide before finalizing outlet allocation. For broader server room buildouts, check the full Server Technology power distribution line for higher- or lower-capacity variants, and browse rack accessories for cable management to keep 39 outlets of cording organized.

The C2S36CE-YCMFAM66 crosses my desk when a customer is populating a rack with more connector variety than a single outlet type can cover — 8.6kW at 230V gives you real headroom on a mixed load.

Technical Highlights:

• 39 total outlets: 24x C13, 12x C19, and 3x NEMA 5-20R covers server PSUs, blade chassis, and domestic-corded peripherals off one unit — no adapter cords needed.
• 230V AC / 8.6kW: higher voltage means lower current draw for the same wattage versus a 120V equivalent, which matters for the upstream whip and breaker sizing.
• NEMA L21-30P locking input: a twist-lock connector, not a straight-blade plug — reduces the chance of an accidental disconnect in a busy data hall.

Deployment Considerations:

• The RJ-45 network interface puts this on your management VLAN for remote monitoring — plan an IP and network drop for it during rack buildout, not as an afterthought.
• With three different outlet types, map your equipment's cord ends before ordering — a C19-only device won't plug into a C13 outlet, and vice versa.

This is the right fit for a data center or network closet buildout where the rack has a genuine mix of C13, C19, and NEMA-corded equipment and the team wants outlet-level visibility without adding a separate power meter.
