Are you sure? ISTR seeing chassis mounting plugs.
Perhaps, but if you have a serial lead then the end that attaches to a computer is female but I have heard it called a plug more often than a socket.
Ah, but that is different; the reason most chassis mounting connectors are female is that male connectors have exposed pins which could be dangerous if touched. That said I have seen many chassis mounted 3 pin XLR connectors, both male and female, in professional audio equipment.
