You better check what your hardware allows. Using a A-to-A cable with hartdware that is not compatible may ruin both your target board and the PC.

IIRC, the PQ2FADS board has an errata on using USB in slave mode: the circuitry does not disconnect the +5v power properly when in slave mode (sneak path through the MOSFET intrinsic diode?) and so the PQ2FADS board (as slave) could fight with the host (as master). CHECK THIS BEFORE CONNECTING IT UP.
