I bought some of these for a project and only realized once I had them that they are effectively gender changers and require USB-A-to-USB-A cables, which aren’t allowed by the USB spec.
I see that nevertheless such cables exist, and it’s for power only, but I wonder whether this can actually work?
Any ideas?
