What would this cable be used for?

Am moving home so have been purging 25 years+ of electronic devices and cables, but the purpose of one of the leads has baffled me & I've been unable to find out via Google. I apologise in advance for what is probably a straight forward question for yourselves to answer. I was going to attach a photo of the cable, but can not.see the facility to do so'

The cable has a one ring 3.5 mm jack at one end & a three ring 3.5 mm jack at the other (& a ferrite core at that end).

Your assistance would be much appreciated.

Regards

Seems to be a stereo audio splitter jack, with the ferrite to mitigate parasitic noise. Looks like: this ?

Thanks for your message, but no, the cable I have only has 2 jacks in total. Since posting my original question, I'm wondering if it could be to connect a device with a mono output to devices with TRS/TRRS sockets?
