An arrangement and method for accommodating a reversible connector in a device that does not require the use of a controller or firmware comprises detection circuitry for detection of an orientation of an external connector connected to the reversible connector. Two switches allow to connect electrical wiring of the device to either one of a set of pins of the reversible connector according to the detected orientation. The switches operate independently and each comprise separate detection circuitry.
