USB Network Cable

[Anakist]

I saw an ad in Australian PC over here for a usb network cable. It had a "thing" in the middle and then a usb plug on each end.

My question is, could I just use a plug to plug usb cable to "network" my computers??

It is just a thought at the moment, my pc isn't finished (as it says in the sig).

No, you need the cable with the "thing" in the middle to network via USB.

2 network cards and a patch cable cost less nowdays.

This cable was only $50. I have the cat5 laying around, otherwise network cards are about $20 each.

I just realised that I have an a7n8xd with built in network cards, will cost me a grand total of ~$20 to do this.
