I need a male A to male B USB cable that's like a foot long and hopefully for dirt cheap. Anyone know where I can get one? Most places I go have like minimum 3 foot...

Thanks!

be careful to make sure your mom doesn't see it. she might think you're gay.

12 feet would be long, but 12 inches is pretty short :)

On that note, I've got only one footlong ethernet cable at home, and I have no idea where I got it. The rest are at least 6'. I wish I had more shorter ones for hooking up things that are directly adjacent.

Sorry, my response was a totally lame parody attempt of the "10lbs of bulk beef" thread.

No, it's one of those infamous threads where a guy's mom found a box that a male-to-male cable came in and accused him of being gay. He posted the story. ATOT was itself. Hilarity ensued.

Hmm apparently I didn't get the memo.

I'll take a look tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure we carry the 1' Cat5e and Cat6 cables at Home Depot.

Home Depot does have those, as I bought 3 or 4 from there myself.

I was working in another department for a month and they changed damn near everything in my department (electrical) so I haven't had time to see what we got rid of and what all of the new stuff is.

We're using new people for resets and changing a bunch of crap because of home office, so I didn't know if we still carried them. Carrying all sorts of new crap like 3" PVC fittings (but not the conduit itself, isn't that wonderful) and a wider selection of recessed lighting, including 3" cans. Couple of new tools too.
