      USB to USB on two computers? I may be wrong, but doesn't that short it out or something?

        Carbon is right. Cables are set up to tranmit data in one direction only. The other of the internal cables are power to devices. Connecting computer to computer will send a power spike in the opposite direction and potentially destroy something.
        The other ones you've seen with the "thing in the middle", may actually be a crossover where the data cables are realigned to stop such accidents.

        Manufacturer?

        Model or part number?

        Where you bought it?
