English term or phrase: a 1½ inch to an RCA jack cord
Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with the bit between asterisks. I'm translating Marketing texts, and this is out of my league. Isn't there something missing?

Description of a Presentation Room

Must include:

·Small, stable, table for audiovisual equipment.
·Adjustable lighting to lighten and darken on cue

Adaptador RCA hembra...?
Adaptador (de enchufe) a receptáculo RCA de 1 1/2 pulgadas...?

Help! I'm hopeless with this sort of stuff.

TIA

I think it's actually "one 1/2 inch to an..."

Initially, I thought that there was sth missing in the original sentence, that it should read,
"...and a 1½ inch to an [x inch] RCA jack cord." But I guess the second specification is
unnecessary. Now I've been enlightened by a couple of colleagues, and apparently it's the 1 1/2 inch
that's the problem, as the usual jack would be 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch.

Anyway, I'll have to wait till January when the company re-opens to confirm with them.

Explanation:
Acá (mx) les decimos conectores RCA, también conocidos como conectores de audio. Son exactamente las clavijas que utilizan los bablecitos, el micrófono o la diadema en la parte posterior de la PC.
