How to use

To use the ShiverPeaks gender changer, simply align the 9-pin connector with the corresponding port on your device or cable. Gently push the connector into place until it is fully seated. If the device features locking screws, tighten them manually to ensure a secure connection that prevents accidental disconnection during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices utilize a 9-pin SUB-D interface
• Check if your setup requires a straight-through or null-modem configuration
• Ensure there is sufficient physical clearance for the adapter length

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that both connected devices are powered off before attaching or removing the gender changer to prevent potential electrical discharge or port damage.
