Streamline Your Signal: Gender Changer Adapters and More

Sooner or later, practically every electronics user will run into the same problem: The devices and cables you are using just do not have the right connectors. That is when you will reach for a cable adapter, such as a gender changer, converter, or splitter.

These handy cable adapters snap right onto your existing connectors and allow you to change them into whatever you need. Micro Center has adapters for every application, from home theater to home office to small business and beyond.

What Types of Cable Adapters Are Available?

Gender changer adapters are the simplest type of adapter, and they do exactly what you would imagine: change a male connector to female connector, or vice versa. These are also useful as couplers and extenders to connect multiple cables of the same type, such as using a female to female HDMI adapter to connect two male HDMI cables.

Converter adapters not only change the connector gender, but the connector itself. This includes a huge range of adapters with almost every conceivable type of cable connector, including:

USB A: The classic rectangular USB cable connector, still widely used on all kinds of electronics.

USB C: The newer, slimmer, faster USB port that is on most current computers, tablets, and Android smartphones.

HDMI: The trapezoid shaped video signal port that you will find on almost all TVs and computer monitors today.

Display Port: A connector with an asymmetrical shape primarily found on high end gaming monitors and graphics cards.

Coaxial: The connector with a single center pin used for most cable and internet connections.

3.5mm: The classic audio jack traditionally used by speakers and headphones.

RCA: The familiar two or three colored AV connectors that you will find on many older electronics including TVs).

VGA: Another old school video cable connector that is still used on some monitors and AV systems.

DVI: A connector similar to VGA but with higher resolution, also still present in some older systems.

Other adapter types split one signal into multiple cable connectors. A dual monitor setup, for example, often requires a USB C adapter with multiple HDMI outs to connect the monitors to the same signal. With multi monitor setups increasingly popular, splitter and extension cables are a must have for many different kinds of users.

Whether you need a female gender changer or a male gender changer, Micro Center has you covered. Shop all of our adapters here, or browse our USB hubs for more ways to get all of your devices connected. Looking for wall plates or cable management products? Micro Center has it all.
