Thank you Dave. Not quite so easy to spot in a tangled pile of cables :-{. But the

-Dave This is a twin/duplex cable of varying length
with 100/140 um
"multimode" cores and SMA-906 connectors. SMA-906 connectors have the
stepped center-pin, compared to the SMA-905 which is a simpler
straight pin. It's used, for example, by the LAN Bridge 100.

Probably it has an orange sheath so it would be somewhat distinctive
in your tangled pile of cables :-}.
The sheaths on these cables are light gray, actually.
