QS Rule 

 

Comparison between PXO and PXC 

PXO and PXC are functionally similar and have the same 
connection ports on their front panels. However, their 
purposes and mechanical designs vary. 

 

PXC is designed for an information technology equipment 
room like data centers or server rooms.   

 

PXO is designed for regular offices. 

 

PXO is usually smaller than PXC and has much less 
outlets. 

 

PXC has more rackmount methods than PXO. 

For additional information, refer to the user guide or online 
help.
