Canada Computers has quite a bit of stuff... You would be surprised.
Something like that you may find at Active or Gervais, but be careful. Don't
try to build a back-to-back cable yourself unless you know what you are doing,
because both supply +5VDC and you are likely to damage something.
Interesting, I didn't know that about USB3.0... (seperate TX and RX pairs...)
