Is it an out-gassing of plasticizer or infiltration of ozone, or both?

I have been
seeing the same thing with my C= GPIB cables (as well as
certain tool handles from the same era). AFAIK, it's inevitable with
that sort of plastic.
My RK05F has a white powdery junk all over the inside, and all the plastic
bits have hardened (some have shattered). Is this the same problem? I
figured something had caused all the plasticizer to boil out or something.
