That's a cable coming out of a wifi repeater that someone has put in after market rather than the 2 prong plug which comes straight out of it when sold:

Here it is unadulterated:

Assuming I knew how to solder, would it be safe to wire it to a UK 3 pin cable/plug? Where would the third wire go, if anywhere?

It's in a plastic box, so unless there's a ground contact on the PCB (which there won't be if it was designed for a 2 prong plug), there's no need to connect an earth.

If it came with a UK plug it'd be one of those with a plastic earth prong.

Great, thank you.

Feeling vaguely confident that I can get a dummies guide to soldering and not set fire to my house.

@spotter approve?
