Except it's NOT 1/8", it's 3.5mm.

You'd better tell manufacturers of the XLR type connector that. The term
'female cable socket' is quite normal.

An inline interconnection (XLR or otherwise) reverts back to the
predominant
sex of conductor pins and sockets contained in each bob. The 'bob'
with the highest male pin count
is the plug, and the predominantly "holey" or "female socket
populated" "bob"
(connector shell) is the lady of the pair or the JACK, or your
precious "socket".
I'd almost bet that the use of the term "socket" to refer to any cable
or interconnect
element is a European etymology thing. Over here, what we call a
socket, one
screws a light bulb into. You missin' yours?

That inline configuration is "flying lead" style stuff. There are a
few added monikers
over a panel mounted termination point. Most interconnects connect
between hard
panel JACKs and mobile, end-of-cable PLUGS, and they get those
monikers
REGARDLESS of what pins predominantly populate EITHER interconnect
half.
