Instantly adapt your hardware configurations with our DB15 Male to Male Gender Changer. This compact, low-profile adapter features two rows of 15 pins on both sides, allowing you to bridge two DB15 Female cables or convert an existing DB15 Female port into a Male plug. It is an essential component for users of legacy PC peripherals, MIDI instruments, and industrial signal-routing hardware.
Game Port & MIDI Setup: Connect two 15-pin Female joystick cables or MIDI breakout cables to extend their reach.
Industrial Controller Interfacing: Convert Female ports on PLCs or data acquisition modules to Male for specialized cabling requirements.
Laboratory Testing: A versatile tool for reconfiguring 15-pin signal paths on the fly without building new cables.
Legacy Computing: Useful for older sound card interfaces and specialized 15-pin networking equipment.
Standard 2-Row Pinout: Features 15 pins arranged in the classic 8-over-7 configuration for full compatibility with standard DB15 (DA-15) devices.
Straight-Through 1:1 Wiring: All 15 pins are mapped directly (Pin 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc.), ensuring all data and analog signals pass through without disruption.
Durable Shielded Housing: Encased in a rugged metal shell that provides excellent RFI/EMI protection, maintaining signal purity in busy electronic environments.
Integrated Locking Hardware: Equipped with threaded screws and hex nuts on both sides to provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
Slim "Mini" Profile: Minimizes mechanical stress on your device's ports while fitting easily into tight spaces or cluttered cable trays.
High-Conductivity Pins: Precision-machined pins ensure a low-resistance connection for reliable data transmission and low-voltage signal integrity.
Industrial Resilience: Built for the long haul, this adapter is rated for high mating cycles in both professional studios and factory floors.
Connector Type: DB15 (2-Row Standard Density)
Gender: Male to Male (Plug to Plug)
Wiring: Straight-Through (Pin 1-1 to 15-15)
Can I use this for my VGA monitor?
No. VGA connectors have 3 rows (High-Density HD15). This adapter has 2 rows and will not fit a VGA port. Please count your pins before purchasing.
Will this work with my old Roland or Creative MIDI cable?
Yes. This is the correct 15-pin connector used for the MIDI/Joystick ports found on legacy sound cards and MIDI interfaces.
Do I need tools to install this?
No tools are required; you can hand-tighten the thumb-screws, though a small flathead screwdriver can be used for a more permanent, extra-secure lock.
