"Pair with" means to put two things together to be used as a unit. "Connect with" and "link with" can be used instead of "pair with" depending on the context. All three expressions have slightly different nuances. Ex: If you pair that shirt with those pants, your outfit will be great. Ex: I'll connect you with our customer service representative. Ex: Link me with your friend so I can ask her for advice.
