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!
Commonly used to permanently mount to a device, to avoid wear and tear
on the fixed connector where the cable is removed and replaced
frequently. Could also be useful to stand off an unusually wide-bodied
connector that doesn't fit into a recessed port.
