What Is a Gender Changer?
A “gender changer” is a connecting device used to interconnect cables for information equipment, often referred to as an extension adapter.
It typically consists of a male connector and a corresponding female connector, facilitating the connection of cable equipment. The designation of ‘gender’ for the device and cable sides is determined by the standard of the interface.
The gender changer serves as an essential conversion connector, allowing for the extension of cables when only shorter lengths are available.
