Folks,
Can someone point me to an online store where I can get male and female regular size USB connectors. I am extending a USB cable to a custom length. Everyone seems to be selling ready made cables with molded plastic connectors.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

You do know there is a maximum specification for a USB cable, right?
What I do is buy the cable and just splice in an extension as needed. You are not likely to find a cheaper source than that.
If you are prepared to use a ready made cable, Farnell order code
1494747 is USBA male to USBA female and is 5m long. This is the maximum length allowed by the USB standard.I have some and they work fine.
If you really do need to make your own - perhaps you don't want to drill a larger than necessary hole through a wall - Farnell also have a wide selection of connectors.
