Help to identify this cable. It looks like attenuator cable but it is not.
There are two markings in the middle : “M” and “1”.

It looks like some sort of splitter cable (Stereo mini-jack socket to 2 stereo mini-jack plugs).
Possibly intended for recording from a mobile phone / MP3 player to a computer (connecting the headphone output of a player to the line input of a computer + headphones).
You would need a mini-jack plug and a test meter to know for sure. There could be anything, or nothing inside that middle bit.
Usually splitter has one male plug and two female jacks.
You could try one plug at a time with headphones to see what happens…
If it’s not a simple splitter I’d guess it adapts a “modern” 1-plug TRRS headset to a computer with separate mic & headphone connections. But in that case I’d expect the plugs to be color-coded or marked.
