It's the same connector (and name) , used for both audio and
(composite)
video input/output. here in the States.
We have them too, for the same purpose, but we call them "RCA
Plugs/sockets"
The TV coax ones Tony mentioned are used here as well, we call them by
their
full name, "Belling-Lee connector".
