Where do I get USB extension cables with a base?

My wireless card's box (D-Link DWL-G132) contained a USB extension cable which had sort of a base on one end - I use it and love it because it goes nowhere. You can see the cable in the image of the box's contents.

I'm trying to find this type of cable for sale singularly, but I can't find it anywhere. It probably doesn't help that I can't really describe it to Google. All the search results are basic cables, which are nice, but not what I want. The closest item I have found is a 7-Port USB hub, which looks fantastic, but I don't really need it. However, the port on top of the aforementioned hub works the same way as the cable.

So, does anyone know of any place that sells these or know the procedure I should take to find one?

Image Summary:
My box contents (Including the cable which I'm describing)
Basic USB cable, which offers the same functionality, but without the base I also want.
7-Port USB hub - the design is similar to the cable I want.
7-Port USB hub, in action - this is how the cable works, too.
 
try searching for "USB extension cable" that might get you what you want edit - i just googled that and found a site that has what you want - usbgear - not familiar with them at all, just about the 5th or 6th hit on google. I am sure there are other sites too
 
Ha! Earlier, I searched for that exact string on google, and clicked on pretty much every title except that one. But, yes, they do have "golf ball" cables, which is pretty much what I wanted. Thanks!
