This apparently changes the plug on the end of a male DVI cable to....
er a male plug about 1 inch further away.* So, it's a very small
extension lead?* Or a gender changer that well.... doesn't.

The only valid use I can think of: Just what you need if your setup
causes a cable you already own to be 1" too short. If the equipment is
rack mounted, the only options might be the adapter or a longer cable.
The adapter is cheaper than buying a longer cable. Admittedly not a
common scenario!

The picture looks like a gender changer, but the description is male to
male, so no change. Maybe just a mis print. Lots of that comes From
China and you have to convert the Chinglesh to something you cn
understand.
