This type of cable is used for connecting certain devices with computer for data transfer or upgrading or restoring firmware. For example, I had a Android TV Box that had 4 USB ports, and one port could be connected to PC using USB A-Male to A-Male cable. BigCatCables.com has a variety of USB 2.0 A Male to A Male cables available in Black or Ivory and in lengths from 3 Foot to 15 Foot.
