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!

Isn't this a 'port saver'? Fix it to the equipment so that continual
plugging and unplugging wears that, not the port on the equipment.

That would make sense, if it was sold as such. But it says "adapter". It does not adapt in any way.
