Cable gender changer DELOCK 88869 — SMB to SMB, nickel-plated contacts, silver

DELOCK 88869 is an SMB-to-SMB gender changer designed for radio frequency and data cabling where two SMB-terminated cables or components must be joined or polarity reversed. The adapter has matching SMB connectors on both ends, nickel-plated contacts to reduce corrosion and maintain reliable conductivity, and a silver finish that blends with typical RF and audio installations. It is intended for use with SMB-terminated cables in audio, RF and general data connections where a straightforward SMB-to-SMB connection is required.

Advantages

The nickel-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact over time, supporting consistent signal transmission. Its compact SMB form factor minimizes signal loss and preserves cable routing flexibility in confined spaces. The simple male-to-male or female-to-female SMB adaptation (depending on cable termination) allows quick polarity reversal or extension without modifying existing cables or connectors.

Key specifications

How to use

Identify the SMB-terminated cables or equipment that require joining or polarity reversal. Align each SMB connector with the adapter ends and push firmly until the connection seats; ensure the connector mating surfaces are clean and free of debris to maintain optimal contact. There is no special tooling required—installation is performed by hand. Verify signal continuity after connecting and, where applicable, check that the adapter orientation provides the intended polarity or gender change.

Recommendations

Use the adapter in dry, non-corrosive environments whenever possible and avoid excessive bending or torsion at the junction to preserve connector integrity. If used in test or measurement setups, confirm impedance compatibility and inspect contact condition periodically to ensure reliable performance.
