Server Technology C2WG24SN-EPJN5D6 Switched POPS PDU with Per-Outlet Power Sensing

Overview

The Server Technology C2WG24SN-EPJN5D6 is a 2U rack-mount switched power distribution unit rated for 7.3kW, built for data center and network closet operators who need outlet-level visibility instead of a guess about what each device on the rack is actually drawing. This is a PRO2 platform PDU with 18x C13 outlets and 6x HDOT Cx outlets (24 total, individually switched), fed by a single 230V/32A IEC 2P+PE inlet. If you're standardizing a cabinet full of switches, NVR servers, or storage arrays and need to remotely cycle power on a hung device without a truck roll, this is the class of PDU to be looking at. The C2WG24SN-EPJN5D6 (often searched as C2WG24SN EPJN5D6) sits in Server Technology's Switched PDU with Outlet Metering line.

Key Features

• Per-Outlet Power Sensing (POPS): Monitors current load (A), voltage (V), power (W), apparent power (VA), crest factor, power factor, and energy at every one of the 24 outlets — so you know exactly which device on the rack is spiking, not just that the branch tripped.
• Per-Inlet Power Sensing (PIPS): Same metering depth at the inlet level, giving you a single reliable number for total draw against the 7.3kW/32A input capacity when you're planning cabinet load.
• HDOT Cx Outlets (6x): A UL-tested hybrid outlet that accepts both C14 and C20 plugs, so mixed equipment — some drawing through standard C14 cords, some needing C20 — doesn't force you into two different PDU models.
• Remote Outlet Control: Each of the 24 outlets can be switched independently, letting you power-cycle a locked-up device from the network interface instead of walking the data center floor.
• Branch Circuit Monitoring and Protection: Each branch is protected to ≤16A with UL 489-rated magnetic-hydraulic breakers and monitored individually, with SNMP alerts before a branch trips — useful when you're balancing load across circuits in a dense cabinet.
• Star Multi-Linking: Link up to four power circuits under a single IP address, cutting down on the number of management IPs and license seats you need to track across a multi-PDU rack.
• Hot-Swap Network Card with Primary/Expansion Backup: If the Primary unit loses power, the Linked (Expansion) unit keeps the network card alive, so you don't lose remote visibility into the rest of the rack during a partial outage.
• Temperature/Humidity Monitoring: Two RJ-12 probe inputs per unit for 10ft external T/H sensors, with SNMP alerts and email notifications — a cheap way to catch a failing CRAC unit before it cooks the rack.
• Broad Network Protocol Support: HTTP(S), SSH, Telnet, SNMP, (S)FTP, SMTP, Syslog, and LDAP(S) over a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface plus RS-232 serial, so it drops into whatever monitoring and auth stack you're already running without a workaround.
• 10 kAIC Interrupt Rating: Rated to interrupt fault currents up to 10,000A, which matters for short-circuit protection coordination in larger facility electrical designs.
• Wide Operating Range: Runs from 0°C to 50°C at 8-90% RH up to 6,500ft elevation, covering everything from a conditioned data center to a warmer edge closet.

Integration & Compatibility

The C2WG24SN-EPJN5D6 is built for facilities standardizing on Server Technology PDUs across multiple racks — Star Multi-Linking and shared SNMP/LDAP(S) auth mean a single management scheme scales across cabinets rather than treating each PDU as an island. It's a natural fit alongside network video recorders and switch stacks in the same cabinet, where outlet-level metering helps isolate which device is actually driving a circuit toward its limit. Compliance covers UL 489, IEC 62368-1, EN 55032, EN 55035, EN 61000-3-2, EN 61000-3-3, and RoHS — worth checking against your facility's regional requirements before spec'ing at scale. For broader planning context, a PDU and power distribution planning guide is useful when sizing outlet count and branch capacity against your rack's actual load profile, and pairing this PDU with properly rated rack mounting accessories keeps cable management clean in a 2U slot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the total power capacity of the C2WG24SN-EPJN5D6?

A: It's rated for 7.3kW input power capacity at 230V, drawing up to 32A through the IEC 2P+PE inlet.

Q: How many outlets does this PDU have, and what types?

A: 24 total: 18x C13 outlets and 6x HDOT Cx outlets, which accept both C14 and C20 plugs.

Q: Does the C2WG24SN-EPJN5D6 monitor power at the outlet level or just the inlet?

A: Both. It includes Per-Outlet Power Sensing (POPS) across all 24 outlets and Per-Inlet Power Sensing (PIPS) at the inlet, tracking current, voltage, power, apparent power, crest factor, power factor, and energy.

Q: What network protocols does it support for remote management?

A: HTTP(S), SSH, Telnet, SNMP, (S)FTP, SMTP, Syslog, and LDAP(S), plus an RS-232 serial interface and 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet.

Q: Can I link multiple PDUs together under one IP address?

A: Yes — Star Multi-Linking supports linking up to four power circuits under a single IP address, with the Primary unit's Expansion units providing backup power to the network card if the Primary loses power.

Q: What's the operating temperature range?

A: 0°C to 50°C with 8%RH to 90%RH humidity, rated up to 6,500ft elevation.

James Everett

What sold me on the C2WG24SN-EPJN5D6 is that it doesn't make you choose between outlet count and metering granularity — you get both POPS and PIPS across all 24 outlets at 7.3kW capacity, which is the combination that actually matters when you're troubleshooting a circuit that keeps tripping at 2am.

Technical Highlights:

• 24 switched outlets (18x C13 + 6x HDOT Cx): the Cx outlets take C14 or C20 plugs, so you're not stuck ordering a second PDU model just because half your gear uses C20 cords.
• 32A/230V input at 7.3kW: gives you real headroom for a dense cabinet — just make sure your branch breakers (rated ≤16A each) are sized against your actual per-branch load, not just total capacity.
• 10 kAIC interrupt rating: matters more than people think during electrical design review — it's the number your facility's electrical engineer will ask for when coordinating fault protection upstream.

Deployment Considerations:

• Star Multi-Linking up to four circuits under one IP is a real win if you're trying to keep management IP sprawl down across a row of cabinets — plan your IP scheme before racking multiple linked units.
• The two RJ-12 T/H probe inputs are easy to forget about during initial install but pay for themselves the first time a CRAC unit fails overnight — order the probes separately since they're not always bundled.

This is the right call for a colocation or enterprise data center row standardizing on one PDU platform across racks, where per-outlet metering on the C2WG24SN-EPJN5D6 lets ops isolate a runaway device without walking the floor to check.
