Cleaning the in-law's house and found this cable.  No idea to what device or instrument it might belong.
Looks like a mini headphone jack.
Wire splits about 5' in each direction.
2" brackets at the ends of the wires carry a lamp (?).  Not sure if those are incandescent or LED but I doubt the F-I-L owned any LED device.
Plastic baggies says "G-LINK CABLE".

Any suggestions?  Otherwise I toss it.  I won't risk plugging into anything unless I know why.

SIL Jim says its an IR dealy for maybe remotely programming a VCR,  etc.

looks like an early  SlingTV remote controller, throws your directv or cable from the box to your computer where you use it to change channels and run the box remotely.
