Server Technology C2WG48TE-4PAE2999 Switched 48-Outlet 400V 3-Phase PDU

Overview

The Server Technology C2WG48TE-4PAE2999 is a Switched POPS Primary Pro2 rack power distribution unit built for data center and server room deployments running 400V 3-phase Wye power. With 48 configurable Alt Phase HDOT outlets fed from a 32A IEC 60309 3P+N+PE input, this PDU is sized for dense equipment racks where you need per-outlet control and real-time phase visibility rather than a dumb power strip. C2WG48TE-4PAE2999 (often searched as C2WG48TE 4PAE2999) sits in Server Technology's Primary Pro2 switched line, positioned for facilities that need remote outlet control without stepping up to a fully metered-per-outlet model.

Key Features

• 48 Configurable Alt Phase HDOT Outlets: HDOT (High Density Outlet Technology) packs 48 switched outlets into a single rack unit chassis while alternating phase assignment across adjacent outlets — this reduces the chance of accidentally loading one phase heavier than the others when techs plug in gear ad hoc.
• 400V 3-Phase Wye Input: Wye configuration delivers both phase-to-phase and phase-to-neutral voltage from one feed, which is the standard topology for larger data center power distribution — it lets a single PDU chassis serve mixed 3-phase and single-phase downstream loads.
• 32A IEC 60309 3P+N+PE Input Plug: A locking industrial-grade connector rated for 32A keeps the input connection secure in racks with heavy cable churn, and the 3P+N+PE pinout confirms full neutral and ground conductors are carried to the unit — required for Wye-fed equipment that expects a stable neutral reference.
• 6 Doghouse Breakers: Branch circuit protection is split across 6 individual doghouse-style breakers rather than one main breaker, so a fault or overload on one outlet group trips only that branch — the rest of the rack stays powered instead of a single breaker taking down all 48 outlets.
• Switched Outlet Control: Individual outlet switching lets remote hands power-cycle a hung server or network device without a truck roll — relevant for colo cages or remote sites where physical access is expensive or slow.
• Phase Monitoring: Built-in phase monitoring surfaces per-phase load data so facilities staff can catch an unbalanced load before it trips a breaker or derates a UPS upstream — this is the difference between reactive troubleshooting and catching a phase imbalance during routine checks.
• Auto-Orient Mid Display: The onboard display automatically reorients its readout based on mounting position, so the unit reads correctly whether it's mounted outlets-up or outlets-down in the rack — no craning your neck to read upside-down digits during a rack audit.
• Bottom Front Cord Entry: Routing the input cord from the bottom front of the chassis keeps cable management cleaner in cabinets where rear space is already packed with network and power cabling, and simplifies routing in cabinets with front-access cable trays.
• 3M/10ft Input Cord: A 10-foot input cord gives enough slack to reach a cabinet's power whip or overhead busway without a field-installed extension, reducing the odds of a janky splice inside the rack.

Integration & Compatibility

The C2WG48TE-4PAE2999 is built for standard rack-mount cabinet deployment alongside servers, network switches, and storage arrays that draw from a shared 400V 3-phase feed. Facilities running rack-mounted recording and network infrastructure at scale should size the PDU's 32A input against actual connected load and downstream breaker ratings before committing a rack design — a power planning guide is useful context when mapping PDU capacity against switch and NVR power draw in the same cabinet. Pair this PDU with an appropriately rated power distribution upstream source and confirm facility wiring supports 3P+N+PE 400V Wye service before ordering — this is not a drop-in replacement for a 208V or single-phase PDU.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What input voltage and phase configuration does the C2WG48TE-4PAE2999 require?

A: It requires a 400V 3-phase Wye feed, delivered through a 32A IEC 60309 3P+N+PE input plug.

Q: How many outlets does the C2WG48TE-4PAE2999 have and are they individually switched?

A: It has 48 Configurable Alt Phase HDOT outlets, and this is a Switched model — outlets can be controlled individually.

Q: Does the C2WG48TE-4PAE2999 monitor phase balance?

A: Yes, it includes built-in phase monitoring to track load balance across the 3-phase input.

Q: How is branch circuit protection handled on the C2WG48TE-4PAE2999?

A: The unit uses 6 doghouse breakers to split protection across outlet groups rather than a single main breaker.

Q: Where does the input cord enter the chassis on the C2WG48TE-4PAE2999?

A: Cord entry is bottom front, with a 3M/10ft input cord length.

Q: Does the display on the C2WG48TE-4PAE2999 work regardless of mounting orientation?

A: Yes, it has an Auto-Orient Mid Display that reorients its readout automatically based on how the unit is mounted.

The C2WG48TE-4PAE2999 is a 400V 3-phase Wye PDU, and that input topology is the first thing to check before this unit ever gets specced into a job — it will not work on a 208V single-phase feed, full stop.

Technical Highlights:

• 48 Configurable Alt Phase HDOT outlets: alternating phase assignment across adjacent outlets naturally spreads plugged-in load across all three phases instead of stacking it on one leg, which matters at 32A input where an imbalanced phase trips faster than techs expect.
• 6 doghouse breakers: splitting protection six ways means a shorted power supply on one branch doesn't take the other 42 outlets down with it — I've seen single-breaker PDUs turn a one-device fault into a full rack outage.
• 32A 60309 3P+N+PE input: the locking industrial plug and full neutral/ground pinout confirm this is built for permanent data center whip connections, not a temporary extension-cord setup.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your cabinet's power whip terminates in a matching 60309 3P+N+PE receptacle before ordering — this is not a NEMA or C20/C19-style connector swap in the field.
• The 3M/10ft cord length is fixed from the factory; measure the run from your whip or busway drop to the PDU's bottom-front mounting position before assuming it reaches.

This is the right call for a 400V 3-phase colocation or enterprise data center cabinet running dense server or network gear where remote outlet cycling and phase-level visibility justify a switched PDU over a basic distribution strip.
