Interstellar_1What purpose would this be used for?
KalashTo connect two female USB-A ports.
Basically the same as a USB-A to USB-A cable, just really short.
USB-A to USB-A cables do not exist, the USB standard does not allow them, if you have a cable with two USB-A connectors then it’s not actually a certified USB cable. The same goes for USB extension cables and this adapter. Note how there isn’t a ‘USB certified’ logo on the package.
big_bangusThey do exist, despite the USB standards not allowing them
See: cheapo video capture card for work, other side is just HDMI-IN and OUT
They shouldn’t exist but don’t mean they don’t when you get the cheapest little devices you can find

A USB cable is a cable that conforms to the USB specification. If a cable does not conform to the USB specification then it isn’t an USB cable by definition
I’m not saying a cable with 2 USB-A style connectors doesn’t exist, I’m just saying that it is not a USB cable. Just like a glass of Pepsi is not Coca-Cola even though it may look like one.
