Default Convention for naming for audio adaptors and leads

I'd call it a phono plug-to-phono plug adapter (or coupler), as that's
what it adapts. Or a "double female phono connector", to more precisely
describe the adapter itself. (Or a "double-ended female RCA connector".
Or ... )


Most accurate and least confusing is RCA (phono) female-female adapter.
It should not be decribed by the plugs it adapts, most people would consider
a "phono plug to plug adapter" as being Male-Male, rather than F-F.

(Does anyone call them "RCA connectors" anymore?)


Sure, less confusion that "phono" IMO, which many seem to confuse with
"phone".
