This is a listing of PXI Chassis manufacturers. The types of products or equipment they produce are listed under the company name, in alphabetic order. There are a number of terms, which all mean the same thing, used to describe an electronic enclosure which hold circuit cards: Case, Chassis, Crate, Mainframe, and Enclosure. The enclosures may also be sub-divided into Rack-Mount, Wall-mount, Tower, or table-top; Commercial, Industrial, Rugged, or Military. A Sub-rack is not a complete electronic enclosure and may only include a metal frame and a card cage. A Card Cage has no enclosure at all and is just a frame [with card guides] to support the particular CCA form factor used.
