What is this cable

[Mr.Monkeyface]

When I bought an old Atari 2600 jr at a yard sell this was in the box. I have no idea what it is. It looks like one end of it can plug in to the Atari 2600 jr and the other looks like it is an Ethernet cable. Do you guys know what it is?

No idea, doesnt look native to the 2600 either

A TV viewership recording device cable.

Looks like a cable or adapter of some kind for a nielsen ratings box.  Like how they keep track of TV ratings (At least in the USA).  Probably unplugged and thrown into the box with the Atari by accident.
