I have found , at least 3 models of cases, that have2 reset switch cables, instead of only 1. For what use it is the second one?

Which case models? Can you make a pic?
Maybe you are confusing the second "reset" with chassis intrusion switch, or something else?
In either case it's just a button with two wires, which means you can use it any way you want. For example, as a CLR_CMOS button.

Both cables look same, and same text on them, 'reset', it is some cheap case, next time I will make a photo of the box, I had 3 cases like this, this year, all very cheap, no manual inside of the box/case...

Same type(color and connector)cable used for the power one, sort of a mix. One cable should be blue-white the other yellow-white, with maybe print on connector "power" and "reset".
