Re: [PLUG] wireless router

I've seen connectors similar to this before.
You are correct that there is no electrical difference.
"reverse polarity" refers to the relationship between the
connector shell and the contact.
Both of those jpg's show a FEMALE connector shell. One (the
"normal" one) has a MALE center contact, the other (reverse)
a FEMALE center contact.
There are occasions (to prevent mis-mating of connectors) where
you might want to go with the "reverse polarity".
Match the connector to the device(s) you are working with which
will typically be "normal" and not "reverse".
