What actions and impact will this change have on purchase orders?
1. Existing orders will be fulfilled with the current 3M SKU, while any new orders
after September 1, 2018 will need to use the new 3M SKU.
2. Immediately upon this notification, no orders will be accepted for any of the
Deactivated SKUs.
If one of these Deactivated SKUs or any other D-Sub configuration is desired and is not
actively shown on 3M’s price pages, please contact your 3M representative to
