Black cable lines running in with electrical outlet..

Hello, Everyone....Hope all are safe and well and still practicing distancing. While we had this down time, my husband and I wanted to do something that we have been desirous of, for a while. We took the dining booth out of our 2006 National Surf Side, (also removed cornices, to put up curtains) but my question is with the outlet that was in the seat wall of the booth.
Perhaps someone can tell us what the black cables that ran alongside the electrical outlet are. He knows that one is the phone cable, so we eliminated that, got the electrical plug-ins taken care of, but are not sure what the third cable is for. It has been cut and tape wrapped, but without knowing what it is, we are hesitate to eliminate it, altogether....
Can someone help?
Oh, and the booth looks so great, gone....
Thanks, in advance.....

If is black, round about the size of a pencil sounds like coax cable for TV.

Thanks, Gary, we had thought about that...but, It's about the diameter of a quarter....and it has whatever it was meant to be.....well, all the individual wires inside the rubber tube are wrapped on the ends....probably about 6 loose wires coming out of this tube.. I thought about the coax cable, too, but Hubby said that is in the back bay.....Thanks for your imput, though....

What you are calling black cable sounds like flexible conduit for 12 volt and speaker
wires. Not all the wires in the harness are used on all models. This may be the 12 volt supply for the overhead lights in your slide room.

When you look at the individual wires inside the harness (rubber tube or hard flex plastic) ?...........is there printing on the wires and are they different colors ?

This statement concerns me "He knows that one is the phone cable", are you sure this was not a wire for a controller someplace, they use the same type of wire for some controllers (EX: AC).

Yes, there is..didn't dig into it to see if had lettering, but there is 6 or 5 different lines that are different color covering.....

Thank you, for the ideas.....

No, he cut that one.....it had the phone cable (RJ-11) jack on it...so he knew it was the phone jack.....
At any rate...I guess we will leave it until we know for sure...MOHO is not at our home..is at storage....so we're not going to do anything until we're certain......

Thanks, Richard...it might be speaker harness....He's going to check that...also check with a voltage meter to see if live.....
At any rate, he's going to leave it alone until he's sure it isn't connected to anything.....Thanks, again..

On coaches with full surround sound systems installed at the factory they put the sub woofer under the dinette seat.
