Anybody know what Neo Geo Pocket Color system link cable this is?

I for some reason thought this sparkly purple 5-pin Neo Geo Pocket (Color) link cable I've had in the cupboard for years was a Nyko thing, but I can't find a photo that quite looks like it, and the only matches I've found for the "SL1638" code on both sides of both plugs of this one are a) an uncertain forum listing for a Madcow Sun Light https://www.neo-geo.com/forums/index.php?threads/neop-product-codes-required.85374/ (also lists a Madcow Link Cable but with a different code, "Madcow Link Cable LC-806," and I couldn't find anything about that), which may have got it from the listing b) here https://www.vidgame.net/SNK/NGPC.html for "3rd party worm light" (that one DOES kinda look like a Sun Light?) (Nyko made a "POWER WORM LIGHT" for NGPC but it has a very different plug housing and also an attached battery pack.) IGN mentions Nyko's POWERLINK (they call it "Power Link") NGPC cable was "bright purple" https://www.ign.com/articles/2000/01/15/power-link , but the only NGPC purple link cable mentioning Power Link or anything like it that I can find is this one https://www.gamevortex.com/gamevortex/hard_rev.php/237/power-link-ngpc.html , and the plastic housing around the plugs is different, and the write-up below the blurry photos showing a purple cable calls it "blue." I've found photos of a purple Nyko POWERLINK cable for GBC with multicolored plugs https://www.reddit.com/r/AnaloguePocket/comments/18brctf/i_wonder_if_this_24_year_old_powerlink_gameboy/ .   Oh yeah and this blue Nyko NGPC POWERLINK System Link Cable: https://www.ebay.com/itm/226159408090 -- again, different plug housings.   So what is this one? Nyko? Madcow? Something else?

This is mostly off-topic for the blog, but maybe someone else can learn from my mistakes.

You know how I mentioned a few times over the past couple of weeks that I didn't have access to the spreadsheet I use to maintain the blog, because my PC had died? Well here's what happened.

I had a long USB cable plugged into the front of my PC tower because I was charging my phone. At some point, I had removed the phone but left the USB cable plugged in.

The loose end of the USB cable fell off my desk, where it hit the metal heating/cooling vent cover on the wall. Electricity surged and arced from the cable to the vent, seeking ground through the ductwork and killing the computer at the same time. I have enough hardware knowledge to know how to change a CMOS battery and shove a RAM stick into a desktop PC, but not enough to know if the surge killed the power supply, the motherboard, something else, or all of it.

The good news is, I finally have a new PC with better stats, and my solid-state drive was undamaged, so I didn't lose any data.

So that's my PSA, I guess! Don't leave any loose cables plugged into your devices, especially near a vent!
