SOME devices use USB for audio. Think "usb turntable" with built-in DAC.

Rare, though.

I found a nighttime noise maker with a very short usb-usb cable. How to extend? A usb extender changes gender.

So, an old disk drive cable (type B? ) had two male connectors. One for data and one for extra power (old drives were power hogs)



It works. Go figure.

Never throw anything out. You'll need it tomorrow.

I could probably use your cable.
