The 6 inch USB 2. 0 A Male to A Female Extension Cable is perfect for applications where a USB device with a fixed USB output, such as a USB Flip Cam, is connected to the USB port of a computer.  In many of these applications the USB port of the computer cannot be easily lined up with the USB connection from the USB device.  The USB connection in these applications causes stress on the USB ports and may lead to damage of the port on the computer or the device.  This cable provides a manageable extension from the USB port of the computer, allowing the USB device to be easily connected.
