Going through my cable box; any ideas?

Ground clip for a really cheap welder?

The green clip looks like it could fit around a lead-acid battery post.
The other end looks like it could be a remote battery post.

But no, I have no idea.

Looks like a seriously crappy grounding lead for something.

So it has intrigue, is mysterious. Maybe I'll put it on ebay starting low 4 figures. Anyone here want first stab at it?

Got a whole box full of mystery cables in the ham shack closet... all stocked up on that particular brand of crazy, here.

I see your bizarre double multipin male, and raise you an unrecognized 12", one-into-six, circular multipin female.

My guess would be either a test probe of some sort or a grounding cable for an anti-static kit.

The Green/Yellow color identifies it as an "Earthing Cable" (Google it). I'd guess that the clamp attaches to a ground rod or metallic water pipe, and the other
end connects to some sort of instrument. Here is a similar cable on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PENTAX-COND...363146?hash=item2a81dce24a:g:Q4MAAOSwfRdZEfNV

Searching on the name produced this: http://microscopelabzo.com/ol-z3 It is a cable used in medical photography. Look at Item 39 in this catalog:

If you say "earthing cable" you're probably talking about the UK and things are NOT the same there as in the US.

We say ground.

Yup. I am well acquainted with grounding technology as practiced in the US. We use green cable for connection to an earth ground (never seen green/yellow here).
In this, as in many other things, the Brits have their own standards and terminology.
