What is this bracket & wire??

Post by dstates »

I have a cable running in my RH wing that is not connected on either end. The inboard connector is at the wing root and the outboard end is about 6-8 ft out in the wing. There is an access panel there and an empty bracket. I don’t see a bracket like it in the parts catalog.

Any thoughts on what this was for?
