USB A male to male, yeah, they are out there but rare. I have a few for my Wyze cam. They came in a 3 pack I think, 10, 6 and 3 foot. They run power to the camera and I used them as USB data cable ...

The USB Promoter Group says the Type-C connector is rated to the same 10,000 cycles as Micro-USB, though I'm sure the more-complex design and smaller pins might cause some issues.

The male connector, like a plug or pin, is the part that inserts into another component. The female connector, like a port or socket, is the part that receives.
