yoo,

The way these are called male and female has always been so wild

Frigid,

Don’t know what to tell you, people just kinda tend to be horny.

It‘s a pretty good metaphor I‘d say and less bland than calling them plug and socket.

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.

I had an old Medion digital camera that used USB-A - USB-A cable for synching with PC.

This could be a shorter version of it, tho idk why would anyone use this for thus purpose, would be awkward

I have a cheap HDMI capture device that takes in video input, exposes it to the computer as a regular webcam, and then outputs it back to HDMI. It gets the job done.

It uses an USB male to male for power, and a regular one for data.

That said, not sure how a short one like that would help.

slazer2au,

So you have 2 USBC devices you want to connect together, a laptop and a phone for example, but for some reason you can’t find your USBC to USBC cable but you do have 2 USBC to USBA cables.

Well by breaking the USB specifications you can connect the 2 cables together to make a janky USBC to USBC cable.

Alternatively you can get single circuit boards with USBA ports on them and you can use this jank of an adaptor to link them together.

fubarx,

So your pets can’t chew the hard-disk cables.

Unless you have a pet rabbit.

trailing9,

Sometimes you have a female to female cable.
