Subject Powermax Gender

Powermax connectors are gender neutral.  Any same size connector connects
with any same size connector.  It certainly makes having a "spare" easier -
you only have ONE part - to have in spares box. (Well, two parts, one red
one black!)

If you examine how it looks you will see.

After all, we really don't have to worry about gender in power cables as we
usually know where the power source is!  We need know only polarity - which
is indicated by the color.

At first I didn't like this genderless system, but after havng used it, I
like it very much.
