Server Technology C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1 Switched Rack PDU

Overview

The Server Technology C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1 is a vertical switched power distribution unit built for data center and network operations center racks that need outlet-level control and real-time power metering, not just a passive strip. It's a 0U vertical design — 70 inches tall, 2.2 inches wide, 2.5 inches deep — meant to mount in the rear rail channel of a standard rack cabinet without eating into usable U-space for servers, switches, or NVR appliances. With a 208V Delta input rated at 60A and 17.3kW of input power capacity, this unit is sized for dense server rows or aggregated network video recording racks where a handful of low-voltage strips won't keep up. C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1 (often searched as C4G36RA DQBD2FE1) targets facilities managers and integrators who need to prove uptime and power accountability on every circuit, not just at the panel.

Key Features

\n
• 36 total outlets (12x C13, 24x Cx): the C13 outlets are rated up to 12A @ 208V L-L continuous (15A peak) and the Cx outlets up to 16A @ 208V L-L (20A peak) — enough outlet density and headroom to mix standard IEC power cords with higher-draw combination-style equipment on the same strip without re-patching the rack.
• 17.3kW input power capacity at 208V Delta 60A: gives you real headroom for a fully populated server or recording rack instead of running two smaller PDUs at their limit — fewer circuits to document, fewer failure points.
• Branch circuit protection to UL 489 / CSA C22.2 No. 5 / IEC-EN 60947-2, rated ≤16A per branch with 10 kAIC interrupt rating: each outlet group is individually protected, so a downstream short trips a branch breaker instead of taking the whole PDU — and the 10 kAIC rating means that breaker can actually clear a real fault current without failing itself.
• Outlet-level and branch-level metering, ±0.2% current/voltage accuracy and ±0.5% power accuracy: that precision matters when you're billing colocation tenants by the kWh or trying to catch a slowly failing power supply before it trips a breaker at 2 a.m.
• Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports: supports redundant network paths or a management/production network split, so a switch failure on one leg doesn't take monitoring offline.
• Dedicated sensor port and PDU link port (both RJ45): the sensor port takes environmental probes (temperature/humidity) and the link port lets you daisy-chain additional Server Technology PDUs under one management IP — useful when a rack row runs more strips than you want separate credentials for.
• 2x USB-A and 1x USB-B ports: local firmware updates, console access, or peripheral connection during commissioning without needing network access already configured.
• Security protocol stack — HTTPS, TLSv1.2, SSHv2, SNMPv3, LDAPS, TACACS+, RADIUS, SFTP: this is not a consumer-grade strip with Telnet-only management; it supports the same authentication and encrypted-transport protocols your network switches already use, so it slots into existing AAA infrastructure instead of needing its own local account list.
• Quiescent power draw under 7W: the PDU's own overhead is negligible against a 17.3kW load — it isn't competing with your equipment for capacity.
• Operating range 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C), 5-90% RH non-condensing; storage range -22°F to 176°F (-30°C to 80°C): covers standard data center environments as well as less-controlled network closets or warehouse MDF rooms that run hotter than a typical white space.
• UL 62368-1 / CSA C22.2 No. 62368-1 / FCC Part 15 Class A / CAN ICES-003 Class A certified: the relevant safety and EMC certifications for commercial IT equipment power distribution, which matters when a facility's AHJ or a colocation provider is reviewing rack hardware before allowing install.

Integration & Compatibility

The dual Ethernet interface and PDU link port let the C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1 operate as a standalone managed device or as part of a chained group of rack-mounted recording infrastructure power strips reporting to a single management interface. Because it speaks SNMPv2c/v3 alongside HTTPS and SSHv2, it integrates into existing data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tooling and standard network monitoring stacks without a proprietary agent. For sites planning power redundancy across A/B feeds, pair this unit with a matched PDU on the opposite feed — consult the broader Server Technology power distribution catalog for compatible sibling units. If you're scoping an entire rack buildout rather than a single PDU, a power and capacity planning guide is worth reviewing before finalizing circuit counts, and pairing this PDU with properly rated rack mounting accessories keeps cable management clean in a 0U vertical install. Integrators building out NVR racks should also look at PoE network switches sized to the same rack's data load, since power and network capacity planning tend to happen together on these builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the input voltage and plug type on the C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1?

A: It runs on 208V Delta, 60A input current (48A rated), using an IEC 60309 3P+G 9Hr plug — a 3-phase delta connection typical of data center power distribution.

Q: How many outlets does the C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1 have?

A: 36 total: 12 C13 outlets rated up to 12A @ 208V L-L (15A peak) and 24 Cx outlets rated up to 16A @ 208V L-L (20A peak).

Q: Does the C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1 support remote monitoring and management?

A: Yes — it has two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports and supports HTTP/HTTPS, TLSv1.2, SSHv2, Telnet, SNMPv2c/v3, LDAPv3/LDAPS, TACACS+, RADIUS, and FTP/SFTP for remote access and authentication.

Q: What's the warranty on the C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1?

A: It carries a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty.

Q: What environmental conditions is the C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1 rated for?

A: Operating range is 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C) at 5-90% RH non-condensing; storage range is -22°F to 176°F (-30°C to 80°C) at 20-90% RH non-condensing.

Q: Can I chain multiple PDUs together for centralized management?

A: Yes — it includes a dedicated PDU link port (RJ45) for daisy-chaining additional units under shared management.

I spec a lot of vertical PDUs for network racks, and the number that jumps out on the C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1 is the 17.3kW capacity behind a 60A 208V Delta feed — that's enough headroom to run a fully loaded 42U rack of switching and recording gear off one strip instead of splitting the load across two smaller units.

Technical Highlights:

\n

\n
• 36-outlet mix (12x C13 / 24x Cx): the Cx outlets carry up to 16A @ 208V L-L continuous (20A peak), which covers combination-style equipment cords without forcing an adapter — I've seen strips with C13-only outlets choke on exactly this.
\n
• ±0.2% voltage/current metering accuracy, ±0.5% power accuracy: tight enough to bill colocation tenants confidently or catch a PSU drawing 15% more than baseline before it trips a 16A branch breaker.
• 10 kAIC branch interrupt rating on ≤16A branches: that's the number that tells you this breaker can actually clear a real downstream fault rather than just being a UL-489 label on the spec sheet.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 70 inches tall and only 2.2 inches wide, this is a 0U vertical mount — confirm your rack's rear rail channel depth (2.5in) clears cable management arms before ordering, especially in narrower network racks versus deeper server cabinets.
• The 208V Delta 60A IEC 60309 input means you need a matching 3-phase delta circuit already run to the rack — this isn't a drop-in replacement for a single-phase 120V strip, so confirm your electrical infrastructure before specifying C4G36RA-DQBD2FE1 for a retrofit.

This is the right call for a data center or NOC row standardizing on 3-phase delta power with per-outlet accountability — think colocation racks billing by branch circuit, or a surveillance command center running dozens of NVRs and switches off one monitored, breaker-protected strip.
