UR7e tool connector

Does anyone know why UR changed the tool connector from male to female on the newer UR robots (e.g., UR7e)?

This is frustrating because we have spare grippers we can’t use, as they also have female connectors. I assume we’ll need male-to-male cables/adapters.

Product Change Notification: Change to M8 female connector on the e-Series
did the box not contain a 15 cm adaptor cable, Male – Male M8? I haven’t tried a UR7e yet but the UR5e i recently opened did have an adaptor cable :slight_smile:
