Cable gender changer EFB Elektronik EB418

The EFB Elektronik EB418 is a compact HD‑DSub 15 cable gender changer that converts a male connector to a female connector, allowing two cables or devices with different HD‑DSub 15 genders to be joined. It has two HD‑DSub 15 connectors in a space‑saving mini adapter housing and is finished in grey.

Advantages

The EB418 provides a simple, low-profile solution for adapting serial or parallel HD‑DSub 15 connections without the need for bulky adapters. It preserves pin mapping for straightforward connectivity and is small enough to fit into tight spaces behind equipment. The grey housing offers a neutral appearance that suits most installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting two HD‑DSub 15 cables where one end requires gender conversion
• Adapting device ports when mating male-to-female connectors is necessary
