Hi Sages of NSC.

I found this while sorting out a load of phone charger cables and have no idea what it is and what it´s for.

Any ideas?

A mic for some sort of early handsfree type gimmick maybe?

Bozza · 2024-09-20T11:25:29+0100

Maybe ask Mrs maltaseagull.

Oh, and wash your hands.

Hope its not a mini pager

A Google image search shows it's likely to be an Infrared IR Reciever extension cable

Shoot it. You can't be too careful these days.

Do you have an LG TV? Looks like the adaptor to make the Magic Remote controller work.

Edit - Guy Fawkes beat me to it.

Looks like something that @el punal might use in his Southampton dungeon

What you get up to in the dungeon is entirely your own business!

It is an audio connector for Android devices to Delorean cars.

It is an Ir emitter. It's used as part of a system to allow your infrared remote controls to be used on equipment that doesn't have a line of sight. In most cases, this means stuff that's in a cupboard

Yeah looks it. Before bluetooth became ubiquitous early gadgets like PDAs and some ancient mobiles used IR for data transfer.

Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?
