Server Technology C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C 60A 3-Phase Switched Rack PDU

Overview

The Server Technology C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C is a 0U vertical rackmount switched PDU built for data center and server room racks that need per-outlet power control on a 3-phase 60A circuit. With 36 outlets delivering 120V AC output, this unit is sized for dense equipment racks running mixed loads — servers, switches, storage arrays — where individual outlet switching matters more than raw outlet count alone. The C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C mounts vertically along the rack rail, keeping outlets accessible down the full height of the cabinet instead of consuming U-space that could otherwise hold compute or networking gear.

Key Features

• 36 Outlets: Enough outlet density to power a fully loaded rack of servers, switches, and PDUs downstream without daisy-chaining extra strips — fewer cable runs, cleaner rack cabling.
• 3-Phase Input: Balances load across all three phases instead of overloading a single-phase circuit, which is the standard approach for high-density racks pulling more current than a single-phase feed can safely carry.
• 60A Input Current: Supports a higher-draw rack population than typical 20A or 30A strips, reducing the need to split a single rack across multiple lower-amperage PDUs.
• 120V AC Output: Matches standard US data center equipment power inputs, so no step-down or additional conversion hardware is needed for common server and network gear.
• 0U Rackmount, Vertical Orientation: Installs in the space between the rack posts and the cabinet frame rather than occupying rack unit space — every U stays available for compute, storage, or networking equipment.
• 10ft Cord Length: Long enough to reach overhead or underfloor power whips in most cabinet layouts without an extension, reducing the chance of a mid-install length problem.
• Switched Outlet Control: Individual outlet switching lets you power-cycle a single hung server or network device remotely instead of walking the data center floor, and lets you stagger equipment power-up to avoid inrush current spikes across the whole rack.

Integration & Compatibility

The C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C's vertical 0U form factor is designed to integrate into standard server rack enclosures alongside the rest of a rack's power chain — feeding downstream network switches, servers, and storage. Pairing it with rack-mounted network components or a network video recorder deployment in a shared equipment room is a common configuration where centralized, switchable power control simplifies remote troubleshooting. For broader power planning across multiple racks, a PoE and power planning guide is a useful reference before finalizing circuit sizing. The C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C (often searched as C2WG36TE DQME2L66/C) fits into the broader Server Technology PDU lineup, which spans different outlet counts and phase configurations for racks of varying density. Facilities standardizing on rack power distribution units across a data hall should confirm phase and amperage requirements against actual rack load before ordering, since 3-phase 60A service is a different electrical circuit than single-phase alternatives in the same family. If your rack population is lighter, a lower-amperage or single-phase variant in the same product family is worth evaluating instead of over-provisioning a 60A 3-phase feed. For racks requiring physical security monitoring alongside power infrastructure, coordinating with a camera selection guide for server room coverage rounds out the room-level deployment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many outlets does the C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C have?

A: The C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C provides 36 outlets on a single 3-phase 60A input.

Q: What input current and phase configuration does the C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C use?

A: It runs on a 3-phase circuit rated for 60A input current, with 120V AC output at the outlets.

Q: What rack space does the C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C occupy?

A: It's a 0U vertical rackmount unit, mounted along the rack posts rather than consuming horizontal rack unit space.

The C2WG36TE-DQME2L66/C is a 3-phase 60A switched PDU with 36 outlets — that's a lot of switchable outlet density on one circuit, and it tells you this is meant for a full rack of mixed equipment rather than a half-populated cabinet.

Technical Highlights:

• 36 Outlets on 3-Phase 60A Input: Balancing load across three phases at 60A lets you power a dense rack without splitting it across two or three lower-amp PDUs — fewer power paths to manage per rack.
• 0U Vertical Rackmount: Mounting vertically along the rack posts means all 36 outlets stay accessible without eating into usable rack unit space — every U in the cabinet stays available for compute or network gear.
• 120V AC Output, 10ft Cord: Standard 120V output matches typical US server and network equipment power inputs, and the 10ft cord reaches most overhead or underfloor whip drops without an extension.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your facility's 3-phase 60A circuit availability before ordering — this isn't a drop-in replacement for a single-phase 20A or 30A strip, it's a different electrical service.
• Switched outlet control means remote power-cycling per outlet, which is worth the added cost over a basic PDU if you're managing racks that aren't staffed around the clock.

This is the right call for a data center or colocation rack running a full 42U of mixed servers and switches on 3-phase power, where per-outlet remote power-cycling saves a truck roll for a single hung device. If your rack is lightly populated or only has single-phase service, look at a lower-amperage or single-phase model in the same C2W family instead.
