Was the cabling hanging down?
I have seen a type of flexible wire used to string 220-volt lights in Laos that spontaneously corrupted like your pictures show. It seems the insulative sheathing on the outside was not entirely impermeable to moisture, or that it was not applied properly at the factory, and the wire itself would develop bulges, then bursts, followed shortly by inability to carry current past the corrosion point. I guess it would be the wire equivalent of spalling.
Rodents can, and do, eat through wire. That is precisely why I had to put my ethernet cables that ran above the hanging ceiling into a conduit. The rats had chewed through them, forcing me to replace them. After putting the wire inside conduit, I had no more issues with it.
Friday, I cleaned up a large pile of mostly extruded heavy aluminum scrap. Near the bottom of the pile was some thin aluminum sheet metal. Something chewed a nice big hole right through the middle of the sheet metal. The hole was a little more than 2" in diameter. I didn't take a picture because I have seen things like that before and it wasn't really noteworthy to me.

Car Talk Helps Bust the Myth That Soy Is Why Rodents Are Eating Your Car’s Wires
A rodent has eaten your car’s wiring. Now you find with a 30-second internet search that the cause is soy. Look harder for the real facts.
You don't have to say soy. The article shows that old and new cars' are equally susceptible to rodents chewing wires. There is no magic potion in old wires to resist rodents.
Yes, rodents have been known to chew on wires from as early as it has been invented possibly even Benjamin may have an article about it. But it's just that, an article wrote buy an opinion of other opinions. You discredit my opinion with another opinion. All the comments on that article showed cars made newer than 1973 and most from 2000 up. That alone should have shown you a discredit from the wording of "old" verses newer cars leaving your added wording of "magic" which is not in the article, potion in old wires. I never said it never happens, but more so in these newer models.
, pulled out the insulation from my water heater, sampled a dozen places of a new 100’ roll of 12/2 and almost burned my house down by chewing through the hose of a portable outboard motor fuel tank. I stepped into the garage and there was a strong smell of fuel. At every site of damage, there were no droppings, only along the walls and behind things. I never found them but I put out a lot of poison so they probably left or died somewhere. You can bet that I sealed up the garage after that and keep fresh sticky traps in obvious paths.
