Either the pins will be what he needs or a male connector won€„¢t do it
wither. It will come out the same unless he twists some strands of the
cable.

Think about it.

I think you need to get two F connectors and try it yourself. Put them face
to face. Pin 1 aligns with pin 2.

The M connector is *designed* to mate with the proper pins. F connectors
were
not designed for that.

I don't know why somebody would want a male end on a cable, anyway. The
pins
would not be protected and get bent when in storage.

What you implied was to turn the male header/connector around and face it
the other way (face to face means one is reversed). Of course it will be pin
1 to 2. The other side of the cable usually fixes that anyway, like the old
days when the IDE cables had no orientation (not racism) gadgets on them.

Not a big deal for somebody without 3D dyslexia. I can prove that by
attempting to do crown molding on the ceiling....LOL
