As you can see from their own product image they have thumb screws instead of screw sockets on the socket which means you can't screw it to anything you connect with that end. Both connections have screws, not threaded sockets. I didn't think about it when I bought it but was disappointed with the bug when I started using it. I can see from their product photos for the non-flat VGA extension cable that they get it right for this product but not for this flat product.
