Its not ethernet, its for terminating the CAN bus. At the end of line CAN bus requires a 120 ohm resistor.

It is used in RJ45 connector, cat5, Cat6 ethernet connection. CAN Bus is the same expression. Terminator with 120 ohm resistor is a very old technology, it is not used in today's connections.
