Two technicians are discussing a wire harness construction:
Technician A says that connector #1 is the male connector
because the while plastic connector fits inside the connector #2.
Technician B says that connector number #2 is the male connector
because it has male terminal pins inside. Who is correct?

Neither, that question has always been controversial.

Its even worse with a BNC connector.
