Reviewing this because I was asked to
eBay has asked me to review this item and while I don't think anyone will find it useful, I'll give it a go.
This device is intended for use with Allen Bradley DH-485 networks. DH-485 is a proprietary protocol, but appears to send DF1-style messages over a token-passing network which runs on an RS-485 h/w layer.
DH-485 has been discontinued by Allen Bradley, however there are still a lot of installed systems which use this network, and it's necessary to scrounge parts off eBay to keep them running, which I why I purchased a couple of these modules.
These 1761-NET-AIC modules provide four-way electrical isolation (power supply / 9-pin RS-232 port / 8-pin RS-232 port / DH-485 port) and allow you to connect a device which talks DH-485-protocol-over-RS-232 to a proper DH-485 network.
These modules are "dumb" devices, in that they have no microcontroller and perform no protocol conversion - they are purely a media converter. This means that you could in principle use this module as a protocol-agnostic RS-232 to RS-485 converter - so if you need something like this and can get one of these modules cheaply this is worth trying, although it is technically off-label use and you have no comeback if it doesn't work. They are better engineered than most cheap 232-485 converters you will find, but be aware they are unlikely to work above 19.2 kBaud.
BTW the circular min-DIN connector on this module is a proprietary Allen Bradley type. A 1761-CBL-PM02 cable will fit this connector, but be warned that the Chinese copies of this cable available on eBay don't get the locating lugs on the connector quite right and it's easy to bend pins if you don't align the connector correctly. These cables work fine and much better value than the original AB units, but just be careful inserting the connectors.
[I do wish that someone would fix the filter that keeps blocking my reviews.
I get asked to post a review, I spend time trying to write something useful, and then the review gets blocked for some completely unfathomable reason. It says I'm "swearing" - please show me where I'm swearing!
Seriously guys, I try to help you out and for a reward I get kicked in the teeth by your bots.]

OK but not dual-link
Although this cable has the pins for a dual-link DVI-D cable, only the pins for the first link are actually connected!
Also the shields for the data and clock for the first link aren't connected either.
Nevertheless, this cable works perfectly well on my monitor (1600x1200 60p) and the price is very good.
I am recommending this cable because it does the job for a low price; if you've got an undemanding application and don't need dual-link, it should be fine and it's approx 4x cheaper than anything I could buy locally.

A very useful aid
I don't tie knots often enough to have them memorised and this is the most useful aid of this type that I've found. It is far better than free knot tying cards you can download and print out yourself because it limits itself to a relatively small number of the most useful knots and makes some attempt to explain when a knot should and should not be used.
I haven't carried this in a wallet and I don't know whether the printing on the outside would rub off over time. The surface appears to be very hard so I think it would hold up OK for a while.
Buying this from Australia, the cost is a little higher than I would have liked, but I found it worth the price.
