Hello
I was trying to make some cable pass in my bike frame. In there is two câbles ; one for derailer and the other for brake.
When trying to put my câble, there was some résistance. I kept on pushing and pushing and this went out ?
What is that ?
I am stuck because of all this plastic stuff and I don't know what it is ?

Looks like a frayed cable or shift housing
Did you say it is plastic? If so, it might be there to prevent the cables inside the frame from rattling around.
Definitely looks like a frayed shift/brake cable, is it metal? Are the brakes/shifters still working?
Looks like an anti rattle insert. It just takes up space to keep the cables from rattling around while riding. Just a guess.
This helps against cables rattling, and helps keeping them in place. This is normal
Ps:you can just push it back. Or remove it. Theres no harm either way
Dont worry about it. That is bristles that are out inside the tubes to prevent internal cables from rattling around. Don’t worry, keep biking, all is well.

SOLVED : It is anti rattling stuff. Just plastic hair going around.
Thanks guys, I pushed a bit harder, job is done !
