Cable Gender Changer DeLOCK 80787 Male to Female Connector Adapter

The DeLOCK Cable Gender Changer 80787 is a compact adapter designed to convert a male connector to a female connector, enabling compatibility between cables with differing connector genders. Its small form factor and sturdy construction make it suitable for tight spaces and routine cable management tasks. The adapter provides a direct mechanical and electrical connection without altering signal characteristics when used within supported cable types.

Advantages

This gender changer offers reliable mechanical fit and stable electrical contact thanks to precise connector mating. The compact footprint reduces clutter and allows installation in confined areas behind equipment or inside cable ducts. Its durable housing resists wear from repeated plugging and unplugging, and the simple passive design requires no power or drivers.

Suitable for

• Extending or adapting cables where the connector gender differs
• Temporary or permanent rearrangement of workstation or AV setups
• Connecting peripherals, adapters, or extension leads with incompatible connector genders
• Use in constrained spaces where direct rewiring is impractical

Key specifications

• Type: male-to-female connector adapter
• Compatibility: designed for the corresponding connector family (check connector shape and pin count before use)
• Construction: rigid outer housing for protection and alignment
• Electrical contact: plated contacts for consistent conductivity
• Form factor: compact inline adapter suitable for tight installations

How to use

Align the male connector of the source cable with the adapter’s female side and insert until fully seated; then connect the adapter’s male end to the target device or cable. Ensure connectors are clean and free of debris before connecting. Remove by pulling the connector straight out to avoid excessive stress on pins or housings. No additional configuration or tools are required for normal operation.

Recommendations

Verify that the adapter’s connector type and pin layout match the cables or devices you intend to join. Avoid excessive mechanical strain on the adapter by supporting connected cables where possible. Use in dry, indoor environments and keep away from liquids and corrosive substances to preserve contact integrity.
