## Long description

Akyga AK-AD-17 is a compact D-SUB to D-SUB gender changer designed to connect two D-SUB connectors for signal routing, adapter use or gender conversion. The adapter features silver-plated contacts for dependable electrical contact and a yellow and silver housing that helps identify the adapter in mixed cabling environments. It is intended for use with legacy video, serial (RS-232) or other D-SUB based connections where changing the connector gender or joining two cables is required.
Advantages
The AK-AD-17 provides a simple physical solution for converting connector gender or joining two D-SUB cables without soldering or rewiring. Silver-plated contacts reduce contact resistance and improve conductivity compared with untreated contacts, which helps maintain signal integrity in short interconnects. The compact footprint and distinctive yellow housing make it easy to locate and install in crowded racks or behind equipment.
Suitable for
 Joining two D-SUB cables (e.g., two RS-232 female leads)
 Converting connector gender in legacy video or serial setups
 Temporary signal routing or adapter use in test benches and service environments
Key specifications
 Connector types: D-SUB to D-SUB
 Contact plating: silver
 Housing colour: yellow and silver
 Weight: 0.0081 kg
How to use
Insert each D-SUB cable connector into the corresponding side of the AK-AD-17 until fully seated. Ensure screws or retention mechanisms on the cables are secured if present to prevent accidental disconnection. Use the adapter only for compatible D-SUB pinouts and signal types; avoid forcing connectors that do not match physically or electrically. For serial connections, verify pin assignments before connecting active equipment.
Usage recommendations
Use the adapter for short interconnects and temporary setups. Avoid exposing the adapter to excessive mechanical stress, moisture or corrosive environments. Verify compatibility of pinouts and signal levels before use to prevent potential damage to connected equipment.
