I went through my junk today and I found this power supply cable. What is it for?

its an add on to the power brick. if you look where the little thing is with the prongs that slides off and the longer cable slides on.

............ do you see on the regular power brick where the 2 prong thing is that pops out to plug into the wall? (or do you live somewhere besides america)

It's a cable extender with a ground at the end.
If you look at your power brick, the actual connector part can be removed and replaced with the end of the extender. -

sure. theres also 2 little things on the other end that flip out to wrap the cord around. that one took me a while to figure out.

Yeah, it's always better to use the one with the ground. If you've ever noticed a buzzing while playing music, try switching to the grounded cord.
Also, be careful when wrapping your cord around the pop-outs, as pulling even a little bit on it will cause the base of the cord to fray. -

And yeah, there is a known problem with the older magsafes melting and smoking. I was one of the people who had that happen. The end doesn't even need to be very fraid at all. Tape won't do anythign to prevent it from shorting.
Call apple if you really do smell it. There are a lot of people who have had their magsafes melt... lucky, mine did it in the middle of class, and not while I was asleep. -

I agree with the others. There is definitely something wrong with the cable. You shouldn't make NBR your top priority!
