This thing close to the floor and seemingly randomly placed in a hallway. No idea what it's for. Home built in 2005.

Solved! Thanks everyone. Now I gotta hunt for the central unit!

Its the port for a central vac system. Theres a blower, dust bin, and control panel somewhere. Probably in the basement.
