Server Technology C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 Switched 3-Phase Rack PDU

The Server Technology C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 is a 0U vertical switched Power over POPS (PRO2) PDU built for data center racks that need outlet-level control across a full 36-outlet load without eating into usable rack space. This is a 3-phase, 8.6kW unit fed by a 30A NEMA L21-30P input, delivering 208 VAC / 120 VAC output through a mix of 24 IEC 60320 C13 receptacles and 12 HDOT Cx configurable outlets. If you're standardizing rack power distribution across a cabinet fleet running mixed C13/C14 and C19/C20 loads, the C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 is built to flex to that mix without a second SKU.

Overview

This unit belongs to the PRO2 Switched POPS expansion series, meaning it's designed to extend outlet-level switching and monitoring into 0U vertical rack space rather than consuming horizontal U's your servers and switches need. The 3-phase input architecture at 208 VAC pulls balanced load across all three legs from a single 30A NEMA L21-30P cord (10ft), simplifying whip planning in the cabinet compared to running three separate single-phase feeds. Total capacity is rated at 8.6kW, which is the number to check against your actual server, switch, and storage draw before standardizing this model across a row.

Key Features

• 36 total outlets (24× IEC C13 + 12× HDOT Cx): the HDOT (High Density Outlet Technology) Cx outlets accept both C13 and C19-style connectors in the same physical footprint, so you're not locked into a fixed ratio of low-draw servers versus high-draw switches when you populate the rack.
• 8.6kW total power capacity: sized for a mixed-density cabinet running multiple 1U/2U servers plus top-of-rack switching — verify your rack's actual nameplate draw against this ceiling before committing the PDU to a high-density GPU or storage cabinet.
• 30A input on a NEMA L21-30P plug: matches standard 3-phase 30A whip infrastructure already common in colocation and enterprise data halls, so there's no non-standard receptacle to special-order for the cabinet's PDU drop.
• 3-phase, 208 VAC input / 208V-120V output: spreads load evenly across all three phases from one cord run, which reduces the number of circuits an electrician has to pull to a single cabinet versus three single-phase PDUs.
• 0U rackmount form factor: mounts vertically in the rear channel of the cabinet, so all 36 outlets are available without claiming any of the 42U (or larger) of horizontal rack space your compute and network gear needs.
• 10ft power cord: long enough to reach an overhead or underfloor whip drop in most standard cabinet layouts without an extension, reducing the chance of a field-added junction in the power path.
• 50/60 Hz frequency support: the unit runs on either standard utility frequency, which matters if you're deploying the same C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 model across facilities in different countries or on generator backup with frequency variance.

Integration & Compatibility

As a power distribution unit, the C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 is meant to sit alongside the compute and network gear it feeds — review a PDU and power planning guide before finalizing outlet allocation across a cabinet, particularly if you're mixing C13-only and Cx-flexible equipment. Pair it with properly rated rack power cords matched to each downstream device's inlet type (C13/C14 vs C19/C20) so the HDOT Cx outlets are actually used to their full flexibility. For facilities standardizing on the broader Server Technology PDU lineup, this switched POPS expansion model slots into deployments already running PRO2-series hardware, keeping firmware and management behavior consistent rack to rack. If your cabinet also carries network switches and top-of-rack fiber, plan HDOT Cx outlet assignment for those devices first since their power connectors vary more than server PSUs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the total power capacity of the C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66?

A: The unit is rated for 8.6kW total capacity across all 36 outlets, fed by a 30A, 3-phase, 208 VAC input.

Q: How many outlets does the C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 have and what type are they?

A: It has 36 total outlets: 24 IEC 60320 C13 receptacles plus 12 HDOT Cx configurable outlets that accept multiple connector types.

Q: What input plug does the C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 use?

A: It terminates in a NEMA L21-30P plug on a 10ft cord, rated for 30A 3-phase input.

Q: Does the C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 take up rack unit space?

A: No — it's a 0U rackmount unit designed to mount vertically in the rear of the cabinet, leaving horizontal U space free for compute and network equipment.

Q: What output voltage does the C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 provide?

A: Output is 208 VAC / 120 VAC, supporting both higher-voltage and standard 120V equipment from the same unit.

The C2XG36TE-YCMFAM66 is one of those PDUs that solves a real rack-planning headache: mixed connector types on a single vertical unit. The 12 HDOT Cx outlets on this model are the detail worth understanding before you spec it — they're not fixed C13 or C19, they physically accept either, which changes how you plan outlet allocation across a heterogeneous cabinet.

Technical Highlights:

• 8.6kW / 30A 3-phase input: at 208 VAC across three phases from one NEMA L21-30P cord, you get balanced load distribution without pulling three separate single-phase circuits to the cabinet.
• 24× C13 + 12× HDOT Cx (36 total): the fixed C13 bank covers standard server PSUs, while the Cx bank flexes for switches, storage arrays, or anything running a C19-style inlet.
• 0U vertical form factor: mounts in the rear channel, so all 36 outlets are live without claiming a single U of usable front rack space.

Deployment Considerations:

• Run your actual rack nameplate load against the 8.6kW ceiling before standardizing this model across a row — mixed compute/storage/switching cabinets can climb faster than expected.
• The 10ft cord length is generous for most cabinet whip drops, but measure overhead or underfloor routing distance on end-of-row cabinets before assuming it reaches without an extension (which you generally want to avoid on a 30A 3-phase circuit).

This is the right call for a data hall standardizing 42U+ cabinets on 3-phase 30A whips where the rack mix includes both C13 servers and C19-class switches or storage — the HDOT Cx bank means you don't need a second PDU SKU for the switching gear.
