Hmm, isn't that device-side USB port the wrong type? Unless what is illustrated in the photo is the downstream socket that can be used to cascade several devices - hey, you could create a chain-saw-chain!
Regards, Gilles.
Nope, seen far too much of this crap in real life to think it might be funny. Check out your local Jaycar store for a *huge* array of "spoofs".

The telemarketer has the USB chainsaw, not you. He is likely to need some activity to vent his anger, which combined with a USB chainsaw could be rather dangerous. Perhaps not to his prey, but dangerous nonetheless.
Depends wheter you are a colleague or prey, but that has nothing to do with the point.

Very unusual, an AM to AM cable. Only time I have used these, was when the designer did it wrong.

Notice on the closeup, the total blade length was longer than the blade on the mockup.

Nope. All the images are CGI. That almost invariably means it's either vapourware, or fake.
Heck, look at the iPhone. Prior to actual physical release, the ONLY images available were CGI. Even now, several manufacturers had released, or already released phones that either compete with, or surpass the iPhone capabilities.
Just goes to prove, if it's shown in CGI, it's fake.
So there.

I see them in stores. They are sold to transfer data between PCs.

Huh? A USB port that meets spec can provide 0.5A at 5V (2.5W).
$ units
2411 units, 71 prefixes, 33 nonlinear unitsYou have: 2.5 watts You want: hp * 0.0033525552 / 298.27995
A USB port cat provide 0.0034 HP
1/2HP is 373W. At 5V, that's almost 75A. Short duty cycle indeed.

Charge for months, and use for minutes!

You don't have one of those 75A usb ports?
No. They catch fire way too often. I upgraded to the 1000A version, but the cables are still on backorder.

It's real hard soldering the 000 wire into those little connectors. When I use my computer's front panel ports, the computer keeps tipping over.

It would be handy for spot-welding modules together.

Has anyone been able to get a libusb based driver working for it?

Duh! You have to use contact cement to hold it to the desk.! ;-)

Get a clue! Instead of using a bigger cable to carry more electrons at a time, you should try overclocking your motherboard so that you can push them _faster_
It's a chainsaw, not a GPRS modem.
I sell them also:
As I say, the only time I have used these, was when the designer did it wrong, and placed the wrong connector on the peripheral. IE: Chainsaw! Then you need an AM to AM straight through cable, and not a transfer cable.

No it doesn't. There's only one twisted pair in a USB cable, and reversing it's polarity won't do much good. You are probably thinking of UTP ethernet cables from the days before autoswitching.
The data transfer rigs have a double-ended USB device in between, so both computers can be the host.
In the age of USB-OTG interfaces some previously illegitimate cables have become legitimate, but there it's the interface doing the switching between host and device mode, not the cable swapping pairs.
also:
Fair nuff!
Obviously I wasn't familiar enough with the transfer cable, however the AM to AM that is used with the USBchainsaw is considered a special cable
The only reason I have ended up stocking them is because of designer faults.
