Server Technology C2SG36CE-YQME2M00 3-Phase 0U Rackmount PDU

Overview

The Server Technology C2SG36CE-YQME2M00 is a 3-phase, 0U vertical rackmount power distribution unit built for data center cabinets that need high outlet density without eating into usable rack space. Part of the PRO2 Smart POPS series, it delivers 17.3kW of total power capacity through 36 IEC 60320 C13 outlets, fed by a single 60A IEC 60309 3P+N+G input. For integrators speccing power at the rack level rather than the room level, the C2SG36CE-YQME2M00 fits cabinets running dense 1U/2U server or switch deployments where every outlet counts and rack width matters.

Key Features

• 0U Rackmount Form Factor: Mounts vertically in the rack's rear channel and consumes zero rack units — the full 42U or 48U of usable space stays available for compute and network gear instead of being taxed by a horizontal PDU.
• 36 x IEC 60320 C13 Outlets: High outlet density lets you power three dozen C14-corded devices from a single unit, cutting down on the outlet-counting math when planning A-side/B-side redundancy in a dense cabinet.
• 17.3kW Total Power Capacity: Enough headroom for a fully populated rack of servers and switches on one PDU, reducing the number of circuits and PDUs needed per cabinet.
• 60A Input Current at 208V: A single high-amperage 3-phase feed replaces multiple lower-amperage single-phase circuits, simplifying upstream breaker panel planning and reducing whip and receptacle count in the data center.
• IEC 60309 3P+N+G 9Hr Input Connector: A locking, industrial-grade plug rated for the 3-phase feed prevents accidental disconnection in a live rack — important when 36 outlets' worth of load is riding on one input cord.
• 10ft Input Cord: Long enough to reach overhead busway or PDU whips mounted above the cabinet without an extension, keeping the cable run clean during installation.
• RJ-45 Network Interface: Onboard networking supports remote monitoring of the unit over Ethernet, so facilities staff can check power draw and status without walking the row.
• 208 VAC Output Voltage: Matches standard North American data center 3-phase distribution, so no step-down transformer is needed between the PDU and connected IT gear rated for 208V input.
• 50/60 Hz Frequency Support: Works on both 50Hz and 60Hz utility power, which matters if a facility's generator or UPS output frequency doesn't match local utility standard.
• Compact 2.2" Width x 2.5" Depth Profile: The narrow vertical footprint clears cable management arms and rear-door airflow paths in tight cabinets — a real consideration when a rack is already crowded with PDU whips and cable trunks.

Integration & Compatibility

The C2SG36CE-YQME2M00 (often searched as C2SG36CE YQME2M00) is built for standard 4-post open-frame or enclosed racks that accept 0U vertical PDU mounting brackets in the rear channel. Its RJ-45 network port supports remote power monitoring, a fit for facilities standardizing on Server Technology's PRO2 Smart PDU line across multiple rows. Because it's a 3-phase unit terminating in 36 individual C13 outlets, it pairs naturally with rack-mounted servers and NVR appliances using standard C14 power cords, and with PoE switches that draw their own power separately from the PDU-fed IT load. Review a PoE and power planning guide before finalizing circuit counts if this PDU will share a cabinet with high-draw PoE++ switching gear. For broader context on matching PDU capacity to rack load, the Server Technology catalog lists additional outlet counts and phase configurations in the same PRO2 Smart POPS family, and the VMS architecture guide is a useful reference when sizing power alongside recording infrastructure in the same rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

The C2SG36CE-YQME2M00 is one of the higher outlet-density 0U PDUs I spec for dense compute rows — 36 C13 outlets off a single 60A 3-phase feed means you're not stacking multiple PDUs in one cabinet just to keep up with a rack full of 1U servers.

Technical Highlights:

• 17.3kW total capacity at 208V/60A input: Covers a fully loaded 42U cabinet of dual-PSU 1U servers without derating headroom concerns on most standard builds.
• 36x IEC 60320 C13 outlets: Matches the standard C14 cord on the overwhelming majority of rack servers, switches, and NVR appliances — no adapter cords needed.
• IEC 60309 3P+N+G 9Hr locking input on a 10ft cord: The locking connector is worth calling out specifically — in a live cabinet with 36 downstream loads, an accidental input disconnect is a much bigger event than on a low-density strip.

Deployment Considerations:

• The 2.2" width and 2.5" depth profile is narrow enough to clear rear cable arms in most enclosed cabinets, but measure your rear channel clearance before ordering if you're running thick cable management alongside it.
• This is a 3-phase, 60A input unit — confirm your panel and whip are provisioned for 3-phase 208V before ordering; it won't drop into a single-phase 120V circuit.

This is the right call for a data center row standardizing on high-density 0U PDUs across identical racks, where remote monitoring over the RJ-45 interface and consistent outlet counts per cabinet simplify capacity planning across the row.
