Works, but loss of gigabit
The big problem is that you lose the Gigabit, you end up with 100Mb on each line.
I'll have to get a second cable.
It's not suitable for all uses and all devices
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one.

The diagram is not clearly visible on the photo, but the two sockets are wired ethernet type.
So it can't be used to remote a box (sending the phone to one socket, and returning the ethernet to the other).
LDLC should document the usage, or better, reference the two types of couplers.
Can it be better? It seems that you can't connect a cable to either of the two outputs.
The PLUS:
Does the job.
Possibility to fix it.
MINUSES:
The cable is a bit too short.
The perceived quality is disappointing.
The high cost for this type of equipment takes away one star.
Otherwise thank you and bravo to LDLC (finally the 200 characters are reached)
