I don't know, but I remember seeing USB cables that split into two male adapters a while back. The idea was that one of them had power + data lines, and the other only had data lines. This was at a time when most USB ports strictly adhered to the standard (i.e. limited power to 500mA per port). If someone still had one of these lying around, they could just use the male adapter that had only data lines (IIRC, that connector was red to distinguish it from the other one).
