Server Technology C2WG48TE-DFME2M99 Switched 3-Phase Rack PDU

The Server Technology C2WG48TE-DFME2M99 is a switched POPS Master PRO2 rack power distribution unit built for data center and server room deployments that need granular per-outlet control across a high-density 48-outlet configuration. Running on a 208V 3-phase delta input through a CS8365 3P+G 50A plug, this vertical 0U PDU delivers 14.4kW of input power capacity at 40A rated input current — enough headroom for a fully loaded rack of blade servers, switching gear, and network video recorders without tripping a branch breaker mid-deployment. If you're standardizing rack power across a colocation footprint or an on-prem server closet, the C2WG48TE-DFME2M99 (often searched as C2WG48TE DFME2M99) gives you outlet-level visibility and remote switching instead of a dumb strip.

Overview

This is a configurable alternating-phase HDOT outlet unit, meaning the 48 outlets are wired across phases in sequence to balance 3-phase load automatically as you populate the rack — a real time-saver versus manually tracking which leg each device lands on. The mixed outlet mix (30x C13-style outlets rated up to 12A @ 208V L-L, plus 18x Cx-style outlets rated up to 16A @ 208V L-L) covers both standard IEC C14 server power supplies and higher-draw equipment on the same strip, so you're not running two separate PDUs for mixed-load racks.

Key Features

• 48 Total Outlets, Mixed C13/Cx: 30 outlets at ≤12A and 18 outlets at ≤16A (208V L-L) means dense server racks and higher-draw switching or storage gear share one PDU instead of splitting power across multiple strips.
• 14.4kW Input Power Capacity: At 208V 3-phase and 40A rated input, this PDU carries a full rack of compute and network gear with margin — sizing that matters when you're calculating rack-level power budgets against your UPS or panel capacity.
• CS8365 3P+G 50A Input Plug: A standard locking twist-plug for 3-phase delta service — confirm your PDU whip or receptacle matches CS8365 before ordering, since input plug type is not field-changeable.
• Branch Circuit Protection at ≤16A, 10kAIC: Per-branch breakers rated to 16A with a 10,000A interrupt rating isolate a fault to one branch instead of taking the whole PDU offline — critical for keeping the rest of a live rack up during a single power supply failure.
• Gigabit Ethernet Management (10/100/1000 Mbps): Remote monitoring and outlet switching over standard network infrastructure — no need to walk the data center floor to power-cycle a hung device.
• RS-232 Serial Interface: A direct local console path for initial configuration or environments where out-of-band network management isn't available.
• Two Temperature/Humidity Sensor Inputs: Attach environmental probes directly to the PDU to correlate rack-level thermal conditions with power draw — useful for catching airflow problems before they cause thermal shutdowns.
• Quiescent Power Draw Under 10W: The PDU's own overhead barely registers against a 14.4kW capacity budget, so it isn't eating into the power you've allocated for actual IT load.
• 0°C to 60°C Operating Range: Rated for un-conditioned or marginally cooled spaces — telecom closets and edge server rooms included — not just tightly controlled data center aisles.
• 80in Tall, 2.2in Wide, 2.5in Deep: A slim 0U vertical profile mounts in the rear channel of standard racks without consuming any rack unit space that could otherwise hold equipment.

Integration & Compatibility

The Gigabit Ethernet interface puts the C2WG48TE-DFME2M99 on your management VLAN alongside other rack infrastructure, and the dual sensor ports let you feed temperature and humidity data into the same monitoring workflow you use for network video recorders and other always-on gear. For sites planning out full rack power budgets before equipment arrives, a PoE and power planning guide is a useful companion resource. Pair this PDU with managed network switches in the same rack for a unified out-of-band management path, and browse the broader Server Technology catalog if you need matching single-phase or lower-outlet-count units for smaller racks in the same facility. This unit falls under the site's power distribution units category alongside other rack and cabinet power gear.

What jumps out on the C2WG48TE-DFME2M99 is the outlet mix — 30 outlets at 12A and 18 at 16A on the same strip. That's a deliberate design for racks where you've got a wall of 1U servers on standard C13 cords next to a couple of higher-draw switches or storage arrays that need the beefier Cx receptacles. You don't need a second PDU just to handle the outliers.

Technical Highlights:

• 14.4kW at 208V 3-phase, 40A input: Sized to carry a genuinely full rack — run your actual nameplate wattage total against this before assuming headroom, especially with GPU-dense compute in the mix.
• 10kAIC branch breakers at ≤16A: A 10,000A interrupt rating on each branch means a downstream short trips that branch cleanly without cascading — you keep the rest of the rack live.
• Alternating-phase HDOT outlet configuration: Outlets are sequenced across the three phases as you populate them, so you're not manually tracking phase balance with a clipboard during install.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your whip or receptacle is wired for CS8365 before this unit ships — it's a locking 3-phase delta connector, not field-convertible to another plug style.
• At 80 inches tall and only 2.2 inches wide, this is a 0U vertical mount for the rear channel — it will not fit a rack without rear vertical mounting rails.

This is the right PDU for a colo cage or server room standardizing on 3-phase power with mixed C13/high-draw equipment — not a fit for single-phase 120V racks or small edge closets where a compact horizontal strip makes more sense.
