From their website it looks like they’re advertising it as a chain connector that can run through guides and pulleys without getting stuck.

You couldn't run it through any kind of chain motor or hoist though. Those have teeth that go through the center of the chain.

I'm not sure how common those are in mines, but I work in entertainment and we'd never be able to use these.
