I ordered this because I needed 2 to connect to my gaming system. The only problem is that I need a male-female connection. One works fine as is, the female input on my laptop, but I needed a different jack to jack connector to connect it to my Smart TV! :* The adapter will work. ;) The female walks great on her paws, but the male is needed for television!? I've had other cables and they work, but I want a TV as a monitor!
