Server Technology C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C Smart Primary PRO2 PIPS Rack PDU

Overview

The C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C is a Smart Primary PRO2 PIPS rack power distribution unit from Server Technology built around a 39-outlet mixed layout: 27x C13 outlets paired with 12x CX outlets. "PIPS" (Per Inlet Power Sensing) architecture means this is a monitored PDU — the kind of platform data center and server room teams reach for when they need outlet-level visibility instead of a dumb power strip bolted into the rack. If you're populating a cabinet with a mix of standard IT gear on C13 cords and equipment that needs the higher-retention CX connector, this outlet split is the actual reason to look at the C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C rather than a single-connector-type PDU. Server Technology's Server Technology catalog runs several PRO2 variants at different outlet counts and phase configurations, so confirm this specific 39-outlet, dual-connector configuration matches your rack's cord inventory before ordering — swapping connector types after the fact isn't practical on a fixed-outlet PDU.

Key Features

• 39 total outlets: a high outlet count on a single PDU chassis means fewer PDUs per rack (or per pair of racks, on an A/B redundant setup) — fewer devices to mount, cable, and monitor, which matters when you're standardizing rack elevations across a row.
• 27x C13 outlets: C13 is the standard IEC connector on the overwhelming majority of servers, switches, and network gear — this is the bulk of your rack's power draw covered without adapters.
• 12x CX outlets: CX is Server Technology's locking-style connector option built for equipment where a standard C13 can walk out of the socket under vibration or cable weight — 12 of them on this unit means you don't have to split that load across a second PDU just to get locking outlets where you need them.
• Smart PRO2 platform (PIPS): Per Inlet Power Sensing gives you visibility at the inlet level, which is the baseline monitoring tier for teams that want to know total load on a PDU without paying for full per-outlet metering — useful for capacity planning across a row of cabinets.
• Mixed-connector design on one chassis: instead of running two separate single-type PDUs (one all-C13, one all-CX) to cover mixed equipment, this consolidates both connector types into one rack unit — one mounting footprint, one management IP if networked, one point of monitoring.

Integration & Compatibility

Outlet-count and connector-type decisions on a PDU are permanent for the life of the unit, so match the C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C's 27x C13 / 12x CX split against your actual cord inventory before racking it. Pair it with rack-mount NVRs or other C13-corded infrastructure for the bulk of the load, and reserve the CX-connected outlets for equipment where a locking cord matters. If you're planning power distribution across a new cabinet buildout, review a PoE and power planning guide before finalizing outlet allocation — sizing the PDU to the rack's real draw up front avoids a mid-deployment swap. For broader context on how a PDU like this fits into a monitored rack alongside network switches and other rack infrastructure, plan connector counts against your actual device list rather than outlet totals alone — 39 outlets only helps if the connector mix lines up with what's plugging in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many outlets does the C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C have?

A: 39 total: 27x C13 outlets and 12x CX outlets.

Q: What does PIPS mean on the C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C?

A: PIPS stands for Per Inlet Power Sensing — the PDU monitors power draw at the inlet level as part of the Smart PRO2 platform.

Q: Can I use the C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C with standard IEC C14 server power cords?

A: Yes for the 27 C13 outlets, which accept standard C14 cord ends. The 12 CX outlets require CX-compatible cords.

Q: Is the C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C (often searched as C2S39TS YCBA2S444/C) new or refurbished?

A: Sourcing is factory-new, with no grey-market or parallel-import units.

James Everett

The outlet split is what makes the C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C worth a second look: 27x C13 plus 12x CX on one chassis means you're not running a separate locking-connector PDU alongside your standard one. I look at that split first because it tells me exactly what rack profile this unit was built for.

Technical Highlights:

• 39 total outlets: consolidates a mixed-equipment rack onto a single PDU instead of two, cutting one mounting slot and one monitoring point out of your cabinet plan.
• 27x C13 outlets: covers standard C14-corded servers and switches — the bulk of most racks — without adapters.
• 12x CX outlets: gives you locking-connector capacity for equipment prone to cord walk-out, without dedicating an entire second PDU to it.

Deployment Considerations:

• Count your CX-corded devices before ordering — 12 outlets is a fixed ceiling on this chassis, and there's no field conversion from C13 to CX.
• PIPS gives inlet-level draw, not per-outlet metering — if you need outlet-by-outlet load data for billing or granular alerting, confirm that's within scope for this PIPS tier before assuming it.

This is the right call for a rack running a majority of standard C13 IT gear with a smaller cluster of vibration-prone or high-value equipment on locking CX cords — a mixed-media cabinet, not a uniform server row. The C2S39TS-YCBA2S444/C exists specifically to serve that split without forcing a second PDU into the elevation.
