Nioxic,

It turn@ a usb extension cable into a regular usb

I guess that could be a use case?

There are female-female USB extension cables. As to why those exist…

XTornado,

They are good for wifi/bt/radio usb receivers used for keyboard/mouse/gamepads…so they can be in a better place like higher or further.

Stormyfemme,

Those still need to get plugged in to the device somehow lol

XTornado,

Yeah… honestly somehow I missed the female-female part 😂 I thought it was male-female.

Well then it’s used in combination with a male male for sure otherwise yeah O don’t see any use unless there is some weird device with male input.

Or turn 2 extension cords into a long one.

But a serious answer is that these are sometimes sold in a kit of adapters that would let you change the head. Most kits like used a normal cord as the base cord, but some used USB extension cords as the base cord. So this is meant to be a replacement part, not useful in its own right.

Rand0mA,

Get 2 laptops, put them side by side with usb ports wide open and plug them bitches together. Likely will short with 5v being fed both sides.

But in reality its a usb coupler (plugging together 2x usb extension cables). Not a great lot of use from them in my opinion. I’ve seen shit bodged together in low budget it offices using edge case crap like this.

blackn1ght,

I dunno but it bothers me how much plastic wrapping that fucking thing apparently needs.

Ravi,

It’s an Usb-A gender changer. It’s not that useful but you could use it to turn an otg adapter (female usb-a to male usb-c) into a regular usb-c cable. I’d rather buy a usb-c cable though.

I used to have a portable hard drive that had a usb-A/ e-sata hybrid connector and I had to use a USB A to A cable (or e-data) to use it.

sounddrill,

Many cheapo sata connectors need a cable like this(I use a male A to female micro b and then a female micro b to male A, it gets the job done)

But connector, idk

Not one that short but I do have A to A cord like that in use. In my case it’s with a KVM that I lost and AC adapter for but found that if I plugged in to one of the rear console connections it could get it to power on from the USB device. Cable it to a USB charging port on the front of one of the UPS and away it goes.

x4740N,

If you think about it, this is the USB equivalent of a double ended dildo

does this mean there’s also double ended flesh lights?
