What is it?

This cable pokes through the wall.

The white cable on the right edge is a CAT-5 ethernet cable that also goes through the wall.

In that box are the loose ends of the cables and an unmarked square of plastic that looks like it might have an antenna wrapped around it. No chips or electronics of any sort are evident.

What on earth was it?

Does the wire/cable have any part numbers on it?
