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.
