I have about 25 channel banks scattered around the country in four call centers.The older ones are starting to fail and we are replacing them with Adtran units.But, the old ones use female 50 pin connectors and the Adtran male. The units are usually replaced by a supervisor after hours (to us) in a effort to keep 24 people busy. The sex problem came up one night. Always I thought if its hot its female, and this was a surprise. For a fix we have been sending 5 ft F-F cables. But there used to be M-M and F-F amphenol adaptors. Does anyone know a source for these ? We don't want to rewire the connection, the next spare shipped may be a different sex.

Flat forehead ! How could I have forgotten about the Sandman. Thanks.

Heh, I usually call those gender benders but this name's a lot more honest :-)

The times I've used them they were more 'lazy butt' plugs because I was able to slap one of those on rather than repunching a 25 pair.

And we won't go into the similarities with gender benders and butt plugs. That would be a COMPLETELY different NG. ;-P

Take care, Rich

God bless the USA
