OT: micro to standard USB adapter

[Shlomo Solomon]

I guess this is only "partially" OT because it concerns connecting a
raspberry PI Zero to a Ubuntu box over USB (USB networking).

This works fine with a standard phone charger cable - Male Micro USB
connects to the PI and Male standard USB connects to the computer.

But since I didn't want the long cable, I thought I could replace it
with an OTG adapter + a Male-Male USB connector. This DOES NOT work -
probably because the 5th pin of the OTG adapter is connected to ground. 

My question: does anyone know where I can find a male micro to
standard female (or male) USB adapter that is NOT wired as OTG?
