The name "RCA" derives from the Radio Corporation of America
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_cable
"An RCA jack, also referred to as a phono connector or CINCH/AV connector, is a type of electrical connector which is commonly used in the audio/video market. The name "RCA" derives from the Radio Corporation of America, which introduced the design by the early 1940s to allow phonograph players to be connected to radios.
For many other applications it began to replace the older jack plugs used in the audio world when component high fidelity started becoming popular in the 1950s.
The corresponding plug is called an RCA plug or a phono plug, as opposed to a phone plug which refers to a telephone jack plug."
