Japanese term

メガネ型アウトレットボックス

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Hardware
In tool catalogue, there are 2 types of outlet box- standard and メガネ型. What should I use for メガネ型 in English?

The answer has something to do with the diagram on the upper right quadrant with the 16s and the 22s: http://jp.c.misumi-ec.com/book/MRI1_E01/digitalcatalog.html?...

I think it means "outlet box with uniform knock outs on the sides". As far as I can see from the link, all 3 types of outlet boxes seem to be of the same size, but the メガネ型 has uniformly-sized knock outs on each side.

The link below is NOT メガネ型, but it is only to show you what I mean by "knock outs". I don't know a proper term for メガネ型 in this sense. I don't even know if a term exists in English in the first place...

4x4 Outlet Box

4 square inch outlet box or 4" square outlet box should also be fine. めがね is a term used in Japanese for 4 inch by 4 inch outlet boxes.
