Combing the data of all the 10 rotation-powered pulsars that have measurements of relative phase of radio and X-ray pulses, we report here the behavior of radio/X-ray phase offset. We find that the radio/X-ray offset of normal pulsars does not show the trend of increase with increasing pulsar period as the radio/gamma-ray offset exhibits. The offset of millisecond pulsars is generally much less than that of the normal pulsars. Such phenomenon should also be taken into account by the high energy models for pulsars.
