I've been thinking about including these with all printer orders as a gag. What do you think?

I present you:

Imagine opening your brand new to you DTF/DTG printer to see this cable right on top. I would obviously be putting the real 3-6m length USB and power cables down on the side of the box somewhere. But have you seen a shorter cable for a funny butt-to-butt computer-to-printer setup it would have to be? I've wondered if this cable was real because of how funny of a scenario it would be to try and connect the two devices.

Hope this makes people laugh during the hectic holiday season.

I like the humor ---- I have one of those cables on a mail meter. I am not sure exactly what they are doing with it, but it connects 2 units that are also bolted together... looks like a normal USB-printer cable, but only about 6' long. (between the Chinese made laser and the Oce's we run there are a lot of cables that I recognize from consumer use that are being used for different types of connections. So I think some engineers just use available connectors that look cool to them and are rated for the load/data...)

I'm sure they have excellent required use cases. Setting up a relatives TV with a Chromecast got me thinking about how funny it would look between a desktop PC and a printer. There's a dongle included with the Chromecast for wall mount TVs that resembles the USB cable I posted. Funny stuff

People are dumb... I don't think they'll get it and just get pissed off.
