Yeah, that must be it. I just have one question - if the female connector has 4 pins on both sides and the male connector has 4 pins on one side and a big honking metal shell on the other, then how do you avoid shorting out those 4 pins in the female connector with the shell of the male connector?
Huh? I think he means the female connector will have 4 sockets on both sides, what with it being a female connector, and all. Then it doesn't matter which way you plug in the male connector, since the for pins on the male connector will always go into one of the two duplicate sets of four sockets on the female connector.
