Can anyone tell me what kind of cable is this?

[M1165A1]

Came with a set of air compressors that I cannibalized to install in my HMMWV. It was originally part of the "Expedient Refueling System". Is this designed to plug into a genset, or a truck? One end has a heavy plug, the other end is positive and negative terminals.

I'm trying to decide whether to cut the cable up for the wire inside that I could then use for my compressor install. But I hate to destroy a quality heavy cable like this if it can be put to better use.

Is anyone looking for this particular type of cable? It's nicely made and in good shape.

It appears to be a NATO slave cable designed to take power from a standalone generator.

I dont think so. I have never seen anything like this before. If it was to be used to take 24 VDC from a gen set, to say a truck, it would have a NATO adapter on both ends.

The terminal side of the cable was hooked into a mini-distribution block on the compressor side, and then the compressor were powered off that block with some relays in between.

ETA: occurs to me if I get a slave plug I could wire up a slave cable, but those plugs aren't cheap and it's probably not worth doing.

Yes, the slave plug connects to a truck to power the 24v air compressors for the refueling system.
