i feel as though the port in the phone is male, and the cord side is female, since the part that actually "mates" goes into the cord, not the other way around.

i feel as though the port in the phone is male, and the cord side is female, since the part that actually "mates" goes into the cord, not the other way around. when i started typing this i had a coaxial cable in mind as an example of "looks like female but isn't", although UHF/F come close. the "male threaded" part is not the male connector.
