It's got USB on the one end and this thing on the other. What do you think this is for?

Looks pretty proprietary. I am unsure, but I think it is for some sort of special printer or camera. Could be wrong though.

I think it's a USB 3.0 Male connector.

I could be very wrong.

 

I found this cable under the bed and it's been there for a long time. think it comes from a time when USB 3 didn't even exist yet.

 

 

looks like a fucked up usb b 

 

I thought it was a USB B at first too but it's smaller.
