It was for an ethernet to wifi adapter for the Sky plus HD box like [this one listed on ebay](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/396785985942?shprz=EBAY_GB_293&_ul=GB&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1w_yZg8l8Sz2umBy3qIp9AQ0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=20006&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338986375&loc_interest_ms=&loc_physical_ms=9045159&adtype=pla&customid=Cj0KCQiAiqDJBhCXARIsABk2kSmnWs2oZoIP8ORlaiz-e6WQ1clPBabJPWblqSxfaI2ytQdNrDX-lfMaAggNEALw_wcB%7Cnull%7Cnull&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20224678046&gbraid=0AAAAADcddnb85HN_Ur4ZivZ2q2JOGFVVO&gclid=Cj0KCQiAiqDJBhCXARIsABk2kSmnWs2oZoIP8ORlaiz-e6WQ1clPBabJPWblqSxfaI2ytQdNrDX-lfMaAggNEALw_wcB).

How did you work this out?

I used to have one and seeing the blue socket jogged my memory.

Thank you. How long has that been hiding back there 🤔😃😁. I think it did stand for British telecom not blue tooth then.

When you say it says "Sky BT" - where does it say that? I mean, is it branded or a sticky label? It looks like it might be for a network switch, it's very thin cable for a router

It says sky BT in my handwriting

Bt often means Bluetooth in my shorthand.

I'm laughing at the fact that you wrote it now. I'm almost certain it is for a router, we used to have Sky broadband and the cable didn't look familiar but google seems to suggest they look like that for some of the routers. Would your router have been there?

SarkyMs@reddit (OP)

We never had sky broadband

OK. This is odd. So you had Sky TV? It's not like any Sky box cable I've seen, they've all been kettle leads. I don't know of any Sky Bluetooth products unless you were using a Bluetooth speaker maybe?

Did sky send us a free speaker at some point?

I think it'll be for a broadband router. The Sky TV boxes (or at least all the ones I've had) have onboard power supplies and use figure 8 plug mains cables. This adaptor wouldn't output enough power for a TV box.

A router

Old sky box power cable, could be for a router too.
