Server Technology C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD Switched Expansion PDU

The C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD is a switched expansion power distribution unit from Server Technology configured with 48 configurable alt phase HDOT outlets. It is built to extend outlet-level power switching and load balancing in data center and network rack environments where per-outlet control matters. The C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD (often searched as C2X48CE 5CAE2M99/RD) is a custom-configured unit within Server Technology's switched PDU line, intended to pair with a compatible master unit as part of a cascaded rack power architecture.

Overview

This is a switched expansion unit, meaning it extends outlet capacity from a primary switched PDU rather than operating as a standalone controller. The defining spec available for the C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD is its 48-outlet configurable alt phase HDOT outlet layout, which allows outlets to be arranged across alternating phases for balanced three-phase load distribution across a rack or row.

Key Features

• 48 Configurable Alt Phase HDOT Outlets: a high outlet density in a single expansion frame reduces the number of separate PDU units needed to power a fully loaded rack, and alt-phase configuration supports balanced load spread across phases rather than stacking load on one leg.
• Switched Expansion Architecture: designed to extend an existing switched PDU deployment, which lets you scale outlet count without duplicating full controller/networking hardware at every rack position.

Integration & Compatibility

As a switched expansion unit, the C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD is intended to operate alongside a compatible Server Technology master unit rather than independently. Confirm master-unit compatibility and phase/voltage configuration with your specific rack power architecture before ordering, since this is a custom-configured SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD a standalone PDU?

A: No — it is a switched expansion unit, designed to extend outlet capacity from a compatible master PDU rather than operate independently.

Q: How many outlets does the C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD have?

A: It is configured with 48 configurable alt phase HDOT outlets.

Q: What does 'alt phase' mean on the C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD?

A: It refers to an outlet configuration that alternates across phases to support balanced load distribution in three-phase power setups.

James Everett

The C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD is a 48-outlet switched expansion unit, and the spec that matters most here is the alt phase HDOT outlet configuration — that's what lets you spread load evenly across phases instead of loading one leg of a three-phase feed.

Technical Highlights:

• 48 Configurable Alt Phase HDOT Outlets: high outlet density per frame means fewer expansion units needed to power a fully populated rack.
• Switched Expansion Design: extends outlet count from a master switched PDU instead of requiring a full standalone controller at every position.
• Custom Configuration (5CAE2M99/RD suffix): this is a build-to-order SKU, so outlet phase mapping is specific to this configuration rather than a generic stock unit.

Deployment Considerations:

• This unit does not operate standalone — verify the compatible Server Technology master unit and cabling before specifying it for a rack.
• Because this is a custom-configured part number, confirm voltage, amperage, and phase details against your rack's actual power feed before ordering — those specifics aren't part of the base configuration description.

Reach for the C2X48CE-5CAE2M99/RD when you're scaling outlet-level switched power in a data center row that already runs Server Technology PDUs and needs high-density, phase-balanced expansion rather than a new standalone controller at every rack.
