We are looking for a straight cable converter that would take a 3.5mm
4 pole jack that would typically connect a headset into a Playstation

Supported by the OED:
"1953 W. MacLanachan Television & Radar Encycl. 103/2 Jack and Jack
plug, a socket with two or more contacts..into which a jack plug with
corresponding contacts can be inserted"
And the way telephone lines are terminated with a line jack unit.
