It turn@ a usb extension cable into a regular usb
I guess that could be a use case?
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.
wouldn't that just make this thing longer? we'd still have the same problem
There are female-female USB extension cables. As to why those exist...
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.
Those still need to get plugged in to the device somehow lol
Yeah.... honestly somehow I missed the female-female part ๐ 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.
