Connecting links are also known as master links. They're used to join the ends of a chain length. The side plate is easy to remove for attaching to a chain. Adding links are also known as roller links. They require two connecting links to join chain. Adding-and-connecting links are also known as half links and offset links. A combination of connecting and adding links, they can join chain that requires an odd number of links. The side plate is easy to remove for attaching to chain.
