"This is a MALE-MALE cord"

I should have read the reviews. This thing is indeed a male-male
plug. This cord is supposed to handle situations where you
can't plug multiple thick USB devices into closely-spaced
USB sockets. You would use the cords to move the devices a few inches
from the computer. But you need a MALE-FEMALE cord for that
(just like for any electrical extension cord). A MALE-MALE plug
is worthless. I don't know why anyone would even manufacture such things.

So I'll see if the return policy works, and hope it isn't too much
of a hassle.

"6 Inches isn't enough"
This extension will help avoid damaging your Flip USB port or computer USB port. It really should be longer, but the price is right. Mine has a female and a male end, so I am not sure what others got, but Amazon has a 100% refund gaurantee.

"6 Inch USB Extension Cable A-A"
Some "Extension" cable! With TWO MALE ends, you CAN'T extend any USB cable. Period! This is what this cable has, TWO Male ends. This cable SHOULD have an A-Male end AND an A-Female end to properly perform as an EXTENSION cable of any sort. Sure would have been nice if it had been clearly indicated that this "extension" cable ONLY had TWO A-MALE ends.

"Camcorder jumper cable"
The USB, 6 inch. jumper cable shown for the Flip camcorder is not the right item. The cable has both ends the same as the end on the pop out connection on the camcorder. Unable to use the cable w/the camcorder. I'm using the pop out USB right to the computer. Be sure to purchase the correct cable if you want a jumper or extension.

"Itme received is not the item described."
I ordered 2 of this item. Clear AV sent me two 6 inch USB extension cables that have male connectors on both ends. The picture & technical description on this page is for a 6 inch USB extension cable that has a male connector on one end (type A) and a female connector on the other (type A).

After several exchanges of email, Clear AV was adamant they sent me the correct product, and offered no exchange, only a refund. Are the description & picture on this page wrong? Did they send me wrong item and weirdly won't admit to it? Clear AV has a really good rating overall with transactions, but I was dumbstruck by the dismissive tone of their emails to me, and the seeming lack of interest in correcting their mistake. And in fact after several searches on Amazon I could find no 6 inch USB extension cables offered by Clear AV that have male connectors on both ends.

These cables are quite cheap, and even with shipping (if you get several) they are cheaper than buying them at a retail store, at least where I live - which makes it all the more frustrating. If Clear AV had just admitted to sending the wrong product and offered an exchange I'd be annoyed but I would still buy from them. I won't purchase anything from them again.
