Q: Connecting 2 Macs with USB to Thunderbolt

I am migrating to a new mac and I see i can use a thunderbolt cable instead of a patch cable. Cool.

 

I have USB to thunderbolt cables and one is an extension. Can I plug a normal one in and create a cable with 2 thunderbolt connectors on each end, and my main question is will it travel at USB speed or thunderbolt speeds, or should I just go buy a thunderbolt cable?

 

Thanks and Merry Christmas to all...

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), 256GB SSD, 32GB Ram
