At first glance could be for some TCS installation but I just checked the 
AN/MRC-6B manual and they are all too short for that.  I don't have either of the 
earlier MRC-5 or MRC-5A manuals.  But I know that the MZ used a much longer 
remote cable.

Otherwise, ARB and ATB use the SK-C16, but all but one location on the ATB 
are with alternate key locations.  And ATD uses the SK-C16.  But none of the 
three use the GK-9 and in any case, I would expect cables for the aircraft sets 
to be of the armor braid type.  Your comment about the sticky cable matches my 
experience with some TCS cables.  So it could be that the cable is the same 
type.  But what the specific application is I haven't a clue.
