Fall Clean out

I am being asked to clean out, dispose of, or otherwise downsize our stash of stuff at my workplace.  I have some odd cables I've come across that I know I have never used, and a USB cable I can't figure out.  What would you have used an ADB to mini din-8 cable to do?  One USB cable has me baffled. It has never been opened.  One side has an "A" on it, it's male, and it's shaped almost exactly like a mini USB, but it has some kind of white shielding inside the plug.   The other end, marked "B" is very much what I recognize as a male mini USB.  Next, I have what appears to be a mini din-8 male to db-9 female adapter.  I think it went to a very old Imagewriter that we no longer have.  A lot of this stuff is up for grabs.  If you know what it is, let me know.  If you want it, let me know.

Does the USB cable look like this?
