Convention for naming for audio adaptors and leads
In the power/low frequency signal world, the sex of the connector is
determined by the outer shell. Female shells are sockets or jacks (ever
wonder why a female shell is a jack and not a jill?). Male shells are
plugs.
In the RF world, the sex of the connector is determined by the center pin.
