Server Technology C2W36TE-YQME2M99 Switched 3-Phase Rack PDU

The Server Technology C2W36TE-YQME2M99 is a switched Master PRO2 rack power distribution unit built for data center and server room racks that need per-outlet control and branch-level monitoring on a 208V 3-phase Wye feed. With 36 total outlets and 17.3 kW of input power capacity, it's sized for dense compute or network racks where you can't afford a PDU that becomes the bottleneck between your UPS output and your equipment. This is a zero-U vertical unit — 70 inches tall, 2.2 inches wide, 2.5 inches deep — designed to mount in the side channel of the rack rather than consume horizontal rack units, which matters when every U in the cabinet is already spoken for.

Overview

This model terminates on a 208V Wye 60A IEC 60309 3P+N+G 9Hr plug, rated for 48A continuous input current against a 60A breaker — the standard 80% continuous-load derating that avoids nuisance trips on a fully loaded rack. Outlets are IEC 60320/C13, each rated up to 12A at 208V L-L (15A peak), grouped into HDOT (High Density Outlet Technology) branches switchable in configurable alternating-phase pairs — a layout that lets you balance load across all three phases without hand-tracing which outlet lands on which leg.

Key Features

• 36 switched C13 outlets on configurable alternate-phase branches: individual outlet switching means you can power-cycle a single hung server or network appliance remotely instead of walking to the rack, and alternating phase assignment across branches keeps the 3-phase load balanced without manual planning.
• 17.3 kW input power capacity at 208V 3PH Wye: enough headroom for a fully populated compute or switch rack, so you're not fighting capacity ceilings as you add blade servers or PoE switches over the unit's service life.
• Branch circuit breakers rated ≤16A (20A peak) with 10 kAIC interrupt rating: each branch is individually protected, so a fault or overload on one branch trips locally instead of taking down the whole PDU — the 10 kAIC rating means the breaker can safely interrupt a real short-circuit event rather than just an overload.
• Input measurement accuracy of ±1% on active power, voltage, and energy: tight enough for billing-grade or capacity-planning power reporting, not just a rough gauge — useful if you're tracking per-rack power costs or feeding data into a DCIM platform.
• Quiescent power draw under 10W: the PDU's own overhead is negligible against a 17.3kW capacity, so nearly all your power budget goes to actual IT load rather than the monitoring electronics.
• 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (RJ-45) plus RJ-12 link port and RJ-45 serial: networked management and daisy-chaining multiple PDUs off one IP address, cutting down on the number of management IPs you need to provision and track.
• Two 4P4C temperature/humidity sensor ports: lets you tie environmental monitoring directly into the PDU's reporting instead of running separate sensor infrastructure to the same rack.
• Operating range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F), 8-90% RH non-condensing: rated for hot aisles and less-conditioned spaces, not just cold-aisle-contained white space.
• UL 489 / CSA C22.2 No. 5 / IEC 60947-2 breaker compliance plus cTUVus and UL 60950-1/62368-1 safety marks: the certifications data center facilities and AHJs typically require to sign off on rack power equipment during commissioning.

Integration & Compatibility

The Ethernet and serial interfaces put the C2W36TE-YQME2M99 in line with standard remote power management workflows — outlet-level on/off/reboot control and power metering are exposed over the network port for integration into existing monitoring stacks. The RJ-12 link port supports chaining additional Server Technology PDUs so a multi-PDU rack or row doesn't require a separate management drop per unit. Because this is a specialized 3-phase power distribution product rather than a camera or recorder, pair it with your network video recorders or edge compute gear where a dedicated, monitored 208V 3PH circuit is worth the investment over a basic strip. For broader rack power planning across a facility, a PoE and power planning guide is a useful reference point before specifying PDUs rack by rack. Review the full Server Technology PDU catalog for lower-outlet-count or single-phase variants if this capacity exceeds what a given rack needs, and browse the broader power distribution units category for alternate form factors. If you're standardizing rack infrastructure, check rack accessories for compatible mounting hardware to run alongside the vertical zero-U installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: It carries a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of this PDU?

A: 70.0 inches tall by 2.2 inches wide by 2.5 inches deep — a zero-U vertical unit designed to mount in the rack's side channel.

Q: Does it support network monitoring and management?

A: Yes — it includes a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port (RJ-45) for network management, an RJ-12 link port for daisy-chaining additional units, and two sensor ports for temperature/humidity monitoring.

Ted Perry

The C2W36TE-YQME2M99 is one I point to when a customer needs real per-outlet control on a 3-phase circuit, not just a fancy power strip. Thirty-six switched C13 outlets against a 17.3 kW input capacity gives you the density to fill out a compute or network rack without staging a second PDU, and the configurable alternate-phase branch layout takes the guesswork out of balancing load across all three legs.

Technical Highlights:

• 48A rated input current against a 60A breaker: that's the standard 80% continuous-load margin, so a fully loaded rack won't be flirting with nuisance trips during normal operation.
• ±1% measurement accuracy on active power and energy: tight enough to trust for per-rack power cost tracking or DCIM integration, not just a rough LED readout.
• 10 kAIC interrupt rating on branch breakers: each branch can clear a real fault safely on its own, which keeps a single bad connection from cascading into a whole-PDU outage.

Deployment Considerations:

• This is a zero-U vertical PDU at 70 inches tall and only 2.2 inches wide — plan for side-channel rack space, not horizontal rack units, when you're speccing the cabinet.
• The 60A/208V 3PH Wye input plug is a specific IEC 60309 3P+N+G 9Hr configuration — confirm your facility's whip and receptacle match before the unit shows up on-site, since this isn't a standard NEMA drop.

This is the right call for a data center or network operations rack running mixed compute and switching gear where you need branch-level circuit protection, individual outlet cycling, and real power metering on a single 3-phase feed — not for a small IT closet running a couple of low-draw devices off a standard 120V circuit.
