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 fewer outlets. 

 

PXC has more rackmount methods than PXO.
