I do think these cables could be still useful for setting up two devices in repeater mode. Or just cutting in half to use for other projects as Bill suggested.
You have to remember that these cables only have the 3 wires necessary for cloning (data in, data out an ground). They do not have wires for speaker audio or microphone audio. Their use would be pretty much limited to making programming cables with USB-to-TTL modules or similar purposes.

When I cut my cloning cable into 2 pieces to make programming cables (that's what I bought it for), I found the wire gage was too small and fragile for me to work with.
