Like some other have said, if you have just one in your setup you are doing it wrong.
This allows you to take one already ran line and split BOTH sides to two lines.
Here is a picture to kinda see.

Will not, cannot ever work with Gigabit Ethernet.
As an example, I only have 1 Cat6 wire in the wall going to the game room. The Wii U and Roku are both 100Mbit Ethernet. I didn't want to add another switch in the game room. Instead, I connected both ports of this to the switch in my wiring closet and in the game room one port is connected to the Roku and the other to the Wii U.
Admittedly, the description here, and the lack of documentation with the product, makes it hard for the less technical person to figure out how to use it. So I'll repeat the explanation some others have provided. Hope this helps.
An ethernet cable (cat5, cat5e, cat6, etc.) has 8 wires. For a 100 megabit connection (normal "fast ethernet"), only 4 of the 8 wires are used, in a specific pattern. Therefore it is possible for a special device to take an incoming 2nd signal and re-route it to run on the unused 4 wires, but at the receiving end this 2nd signal needs to be re-connected in reverse to go to the right pattern in a jack, in order for it to be received correctly. This splitter combiner does exactly this, so you need two of them. You get one of these devices, connect two separate 100Mb lines in to the two female sockets on the sending side, then plug in the male end into the wall, so both signals are travelling on the single cable, side by side. (For example, the two incoming cables could be coming out of two separate ports on your ethernet switch/router.) At the other end, you connect the male end of another of these devices to the wall, and connect two separate cables to the two female sockets, and now you have a single cable in the wall doing the job of two 100Mb cables.
If you run into a problem, patiently check to make sure that your connections are all correct, don't immediately blame the devices. For example, make sure that the connections work when you're not using the splitters.
I used these to connect a tv and a bluray player to my switch, through a single cable in the wall. The alternative I considered was to place an ethernet switch to connect the two, but that seemed overkill, since these probably don't have gigabit ports, and streaming throughput is limited by the ISP bandwidth anyway.
My home wiring comes into a closet in one corner of the house. If I locate my wifi router in this closet, I don't get good coverage at the other end of the house. If I don't locate my wifi router in this closet, I don't have ports available to plug in my wired devices.
I have 1 cat5 cable running from the closet to the living room.
I purchased a PAIR of these devices and put one on each end of the cat5 cable from the closet to the living room. This gives me TWO virtual cables. I use one to go from the cable modem in the closet to the uplink port of the wifi router in the living room. I connect the other to a downlink port on the wifi router where I connect the other end to a 8 port switch in the closet to connect wired devices.
Problem solved!
