Sure. The advantage of this is you don't have to cut open one of your cables, you can easily (and visibly) decide whether you want the data pins connected or not and this works for any USB device, ie. USB micro as well as Apple and other proprietary connectors.

You could just get two cables, and only patch one.

So would the cable option if you used a male / female cable instead of a male / male one.


actually I think you can just stick some electrical tape over the data pins in a standard USB cable. not sure how this device does anything different.
