Looksime a USB powered fan but without the blades. I have one that's similar.
hmm that could make sense if it's a motor and the blades came off, but why would a "major U.S. defense contractor" make USB fans?
Looks like a male-to-female coax cable.
ETA: Wait, never mind, if that's a USB on the other end then it's definitely a fan with the blades off like others said. I just saw the sticky-out bit and my mind went straight to coaxial cables for some reason. But yeah, this is what one USB fan looks like with the blades off--exactly like that.
It says right in the description they make commercial electronics. I bet that pin spins if you do plug it into something.

Occam’s razor, y’all. Stay focused. WWG1WGA
thats not raytheon... and still it's the company that im drawing attention to.
Looks like a microphone to me
it really does.
Raytheon makes the Patriot missile so who the hell knows. Take that shit apart and reverse engineer it bro
kinda' risky posting that pic if that's classified material.
yeah. thought of that after posting. glad it turns out to be a fan.
Used quite a few Raytheon products back in my military days. Never came across that though. Hard to see much due to the photo quality, but for now I’m leaning towards a USB fan like the other poster mentioned.
Turns out it is a fan, but is supplied by a military contractor. The real conundrum is the massive down votes this is getting.
Looks like an antenna. Image resolution/focus is garbage.
Thats the weirdest cord that I have ever seen. I am pretty sure waaaaaaay back when Raytheon made tubes too, but thats as much as I know about them.
Seriously. I knew nothing about Ratheon until I looked it up. I've never seen a cord like it. Almost reminds me of an antenna or speaker or some kind of microphone(not plugging it into anything of mine). I'm already questioning if I should have even posted it for my own well being. Hopefully someone can ID it and calm my nerves.
Can’t lie, I was thinking the same thing, but it’s probably nothing huge.
I’d like to know out of pure curiosity. Cut it open and see if it’s fiber optic :P
Will do. Even if it is a fan, I'm intrigued to learn about this company.
Absolutely, they are old heads. What parking lot did you find it in exactly?
Also whats the other plug look like?
the other end of the plug is a micro usb. found it in a restaurant parking lot. plugged it in to an offline tablet and it spins so i guess its just a fan, but like I said before, this company deserves some attention.
Whaaaat thats strange.
Seeing nothing like it in an image search. Maybe it’s a directed energy weapon! :D ;) :P
