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

Hi Sages of NSC.View attachment 189123
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?

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.
