I'm after a USB lead with a difference.

It needs to have the small connector at one end. The sort that plugs
into some MP3 players, and many external 2.5" drive caddies.

However, the other end needs to be standard USB - but *female* instead
of the normal plug.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier?

Stick a gender changer on the end of a standard cable:

But are you sure that the data in/out pins don't need to be transposed?

I'd be tempted to just wire up my own gender changer, initially only
connecting the power wires - then 'scope out the remaining ones to make
sure...before connecting the data pins.

Thanks, all.

Now ordered from three separate suppliers - I may even receive one
tomorrow as needed.
