I installed an extra case fan in my computer. It has two short 
cables with connectors on the distant ends. One has a three 
pronged male connector with a keying device so that it will 
fit on a 4-prong MB fan plug, but only onto 3 specific prongs. 
This cable has only two wires. It also has a standard 4-pin 
power cable connector with an adapter that fits the 3-prong 
connector.

Why is the adapter to a 4-pin power cable a female connector? 
How can I give it power when 4-pin power connectors from the 
power supply also are female?

The other lead from the fan is a single wire marked 
temperature sensor. Should this single wire cable be connected 
to the 4 pin on the MB fan connector?
