A gender changer is a hardware device placed between two cable connectors of the same type and gender. An example is a cable connector shell with either two female or two male connectors on it (male-to-male or female-to-female), used to correct the mismatches that result when interconnecting two devices or cables with the same gender of connector.
Male Mini-DVI plug on top of a 12-inch PowerBook G4; female port is second from left. Mini-DVI: VGA, DVI, television. Apple Computer alternative to Mini-VGA. Often now replaced by Mini DisplayPort. Female Micro-DVI port (rightmost) on MacBook Air: Micro-DVI: DVI-D dual link Replaced with Mini DisplayPort. DMS-59: twin DVI (for two monitors via ...
Typically the male connector is fitted to a cable, and the female to a panel on equipment. Cable connectors are often designed to be fitted by crimping [9] using a special power or manual tool.

A power cord on an appliance terminates in a (male) plug; it connects to a (female) socket in a wall or on an extension cord. Coaxial cables used for video or other high-frequency signals are normally terminated, at both ends, in a connector comprising an inner pin and an outer fixed or rotating shell; these are conventionally reckoned as male.
A VGA cable with DE-15 male connector. The same VGA cable can be used with a variety of supported VGA resolutions, ranging from 320×400px @70 Hz, or 320×480px @60 Hz (12.6 MHz of signal bandwidth) to 1280×1024px @85 Hz (160 MHz) and up to 2048×1536px @85 Hz (388 MHz).
A banana connector (commonly banana plug for the male, banana jack (or socket) for the female) is a single-wire (one conductor) electrical connector used for joining wires to equipment. The term 4 mm connector is also used, especially in Europe, although not all banana connectors will mate with 4 mm parts, and 2 mm banana connectors exist.
Sometimes both ends of a cable are terminated with the same gender of connector, as in many Ethernet patch cables. In other applications the two ends are terminated differently, either with male and female of the same connector (as in an extension cord), or with incompatible connectors, which is sometimes called an adapter cable.
