They shouldn't be supplied on USB cables anyway, and specially on USB2.0 compatible ones; but most people just stick them on everything, not bothering to read the specs.
 
Huh? Wow, absolutely no-one knows what I'm talking about... Anyways, I'm using them for a ext to usb cable as I really don't want to pay 30 pounds for a host from artaylor.com...(that's like 60 bucks american, w/o shipping). I really don't care what they're for, their just to cover the wire splicing that I'm going to have to do. I don't like the idea of using...duct tape or something...

@TelcoLou
What are you talking about?
 
Wow .... I really had no clue what you meant ... I'm still not sure .... you need something to cover wire splices? Like shrink-wrap tubing, that shrinks tight around splices with the application of heat from a blow-dryer for example???
 
Something like that..I don't want to open up the pins in the ext jack, so I'm rearranging the wires... in a phone cable perhaps. Here's an example.

Yea..I'll just add a bulge and thats it..Might take..some time...

Oh yea, the male to female dongle thingy, and a hub too.
