How to use

Insert the male USB B plug of each cable into the corresponding USB B ports of the gender changer until they are fully seated.

Use shielded, high-quality USB 2.0 cables to maintain signal integrity and avoid exceeding the recommended cable length for USB 2.0 to prevent data errors. Avoid placing the gender changer under mechanical stress or in environments with excessive moisture.
