PowerPole connectors are really genderless and align themselves 100% into a reversible module and simplifying wiring. This is not an insurmountable obstacle for those that need cross compatibility, just make an adapter dongle and away you go. However, I must say the Jones stye have proved their usefulness since 1995 and it's hard to justify ditching them just because something new came along.
