Found this at my work, no one can figure out what it is. Though you guys might be able to help!

Hello!  So I work in an emergency room and one of the nurses found this just laying around. No one seems to be able to figure out what it is so I though I would ask here! 
 

Thanks in advance!

 

Update: I think y’all got it with the car charger. I didn’t recognize it without the plastic casing but it makes sense. 
 

To the one dude saying it’s a MOBO killer. WTF you smoking bro?

Nasty, looks like a device to short out a motherboard.

That looks like a USB car charger to me. It's just missing the plastic casing.

But both sides are male not female. A charger would have to be female unless it is some weird standard.

Yeah - it's got the metal sides, the spring for the bottom contact nub, a female USB port (it's not male, so it doesn't plug into a female type-A port on a computer)

It's for use in a car. It has 2 USB ports for connecting cables, and the fact that they are different colors would likely indicate that one of them can output more current to charge a connected device at a faster rate.

That's quick guess, which is probably true.

Absolutely a car charger, the contacts on either side give it away.

yeah car charger, i would always pull them apart and solder on a connector to a asip battery so we could charge our phones in the field. This was before everyone had a powerbrick but the army always has asip batteries and they are rechargeable :)
