How to use

To use the gender changer, align the adapter with the cable and device connectors, then gently push together until fully seated.

No special tools or drivers are required; the adapter functions as a passive physical interface to change connector orientation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid excessive bending or twisting near the adapter and keep it away from sources of moisture or extreme temperatures. If used in a permanent installation, verify mechanical support for connected cables to prevent strain on the adapter's connectors.
