Boeing connection cable
This cable looks like a Generic APU module connector. An APU is an (Auxiliary Power Unit). A box which is used to power the aircraft on the ground when the engines are not generating power for the aircraft. The APU allows the avionics, internal lights and other powered devices on the aircraft to operate while the aircraft is being maintained. Think of the APU as a big AC Adapter with step up transformers. The cable connects to the APU and is permanently mounted via 4 screws on one end and is screwed into the fuselage connector on the body of the airplane at the other end.
