Actually it makes a lot of sense for 100Mb connections. You run cables
through your wall and then realize you need two jacks in a room.
Instead of running a second cable, you install two of these. One near
the patch panel, the other in the room needing two connections. The
reason this works, the network connection only uses 4 of the 8 wires for
a 10/100Mb connection. That leaves the other 4 free for a second
connection or to carry some other connection. At the last job I worked
at I would split out wires from the network cables to create connections
for the phone system.
