Server Technology C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR Switched 3-Branch PDU

Overview

The Server Technology C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR is a switched Primary PRO2 power distribution unit built for data center racks that need outlet-level control across a mixed load of standard and high-density equipment. It pairs 24 C13 outlets with 12 CX ALT-BRANCH HDOT outlets on a 208V, 3-branch configuration, giving you both broad C13 coverage for general server and network gear and dedicated alternate-branch outlets for equipment that benefits from split-feed redundancy. TAA compliance makes the C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR a straightforward fit for government and federal-adjacent procurement where sourcing documentation matters as much as the hardware spec.

Key Features

• 24 C13 Outlets: covers the majority of standard server, switch, and storage power cords without adapters — the outlet count most racks actually need for a full U-space buildout.
• 12 CX ALT-BRANCH HDOT Outlets: HDOT (High Density Outlet Technology) outlets on an alternate branch let you split critical loads across separate circuits, so a single breaker trip doesn't take down every device plugged into the rack.
• 208V Input: matches standard three-phase data center power infrastructure, letting this PDU sit in the same rack power plan as the rest of a commercial or enterprise deployment without a step-down.
• 3BR (3-Branch) Design: distributes the 36 total outlets across three separate circuit branches, so load balancing and breaker sizing follow the physical outlet groups rather than one shared circuit — useful when you're spec'ing circuit protection per branch.
• Switched Outlet Control: outlet-level switching (Primary PRO2 platform) supports remote power cycling of individual devices, which matters when a hung server or network appliance needs a hard reboot without a technician walking the row.
• TAA Compliance: qualifies the C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR for federal and federal-contractor purchasing where Trade Agreements Act sourcing rules apply to the bill of materials.

Integration & Compatibility

The C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR (often searched as C2WG36TE 2CAF2M66/GR) fits into standard rack power distribution planning alongside PDU and UPS equipment already in a deployment. Because it separates outlets across alternate branches, it pairs well in designs that also use rack servers requiring dual-corded, redundant-feed power. For teams planning a broader rack power layout, a PDU planning and rack power guide is worth reviewing before finalizing branch and breaker assignments — 36 outlets across 3 branches changes how you size upstream circuits compared to a single-branch unit. This model sits in the Server Technology Primary PRO2 switched PDU family; if your rack needs fewer alternate-branch outlets or a different C13/C-CX split, check the broader PDU lineup for a variant closer to that outlet mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR TAA compliant?

A: Yes, the C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR is TAA compliant, making it eligible for federal and federal-contractor procurement that requires Trade Agreements Act sourcing.

Q: How many outlets does the C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR have?

A: It has 36 total outlets: 24 C13 outlets plus 12 CX ALT-BRANCH HDOT outlets.

Q: What voltage does the C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR run on?

A: It's rated for 208V input across a 3-branch (3BR) circuit configuration.

Q: What does ALT-BRANCH HDOT mean on this PDU?

A: The CX outlets are wired to an alternate branch circuit using Server Technology's HDOT (High Density Outlet Technology), allowing critical loads to be split across separate circuits for redundancy.

Q: Is this a switched PDU?

A: Yes, the C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR is part of the Primary PRO2 switched PDU platform, supporting outlet-level power control.

The outlet split on the C2WG36TE-2CAF2M66/GR is what stands out to me — 24 C13 plus 12 CX ALT-BRANCH HDOT gives you room to run general rack gear off the main outlet bank while pulling redundancy-sensitive equipment onto the alternate branch.

Technical Highlights:

• 36 total outlets across 3 branches: a 3BR layout means each branch carries roughly a third of the outlet load, which simplifies breaker sizing when you're planning upstream circuit protection.
• 12 CX HDOT outlets on alt-branch: HDOT's high-density outlet spacing plus the alternate-branch wiring gives dual-corded gear a real second feed instead of sharing the same branch as everything else.
• 208V input: lines up with standard three-phase data center distribution, so it drops into existing rack power infrastructure without a transformer or step-down.

Deployment Considerations:

• Before ordering, confirm your rack's dual-corded equipment actually uses CX-style connectors on the redundant feed — the HDOT outlets are built for that connector family, not standard C14 plugs.
• 36 outlets across 3 branches means your upstream panel needs to support 3 separate circuit paths into the rack — plan breaker allocation before installation, not after.

This is a fit for a data center rack running a mix of single-corded C13 devices and a smaller set of redundancy-critical gear that needs an isolated alternate-branch feed — think a core network rack where a handful of dual-corded switches sit alongside a larger population of standard servers.
