The Pan Pacific IBM Surface Boxes & Face category narrows the LAN Components, Switches, Hubs family to a specific panel and wall-plate connectivity format, helping match the mechanical interface before choosing a part number. Examples currently represented in Wallco's Pan Pacific catalog include WP-IBM-1P (WP-IBM-1P Ibm Connector Face Plate) and WP-IBM-2P (WP-IBM-2P Ibm Connector Face Plate).
For this Pan Pacific category, verify gang/rack size, port count, connector or insert format, hole pattern, material/finish and the termination or feed-through interface behind the plate. Those attributes determine mating compatibility and whether the part is appropriate for the intended equipment or cabling system.
The catalog path is Pan Pacific > Voice / Data Components > LAN Components, Switches, Hubs > IBM Surface Boxes & Face. Keeping the manufacturer family, parent interface and exact subcategory together is useful for distinguishing parts that share a similar appearance but use different termination, wiring, impedance, contact or mounting details.
Start with the existing Pan Pacific part number when replacing a component. If it is unavailable, document the mating equipment and the key attributes for ibm surface boxes & face: gang/rack size, port count, connector or insert format, hole pattern, material/finish and the termination or feed-through interface behind the plate.
Wallco currently has 5 active Pan Pacific products assigned to this category in the latest catalog export. The category is intended to narrow the choice; final compatibility should be confirmed at the individual part level.
Do not assume that two products in the ibm surface boxes & face family are interchangeable solely because they share a connector family. Pinout, impedance, shielding, termination, shell size, wiring standard or signal direction may differ depending on the interface.
Compare gang/rack size, port count, connector or insert format, hole pattern, material/finish and the termination or feed-through interface behind the plate.
Match the complete Pan Pacific part number first. If cross-referencing, compare the mating interface, mechanical format, termination/wiring and electrical or signal requirements before substituting another model.
