Cinch is a connector company that makes hundreds of types. I've never
come across the RCA phono referred to as a Cinch. The shorthand
nomenclature, certainly here in the UK, is always Phono.

Standard nomenclature in France.

There seems a lack of any info on Cinch-Jones in Wikipedia
They used to call RCA plugs phono years ago, when phonos were the rage.
Since phonos started out mono, it only had 1 conductor.
I just worked on a Apple power cord. it looks like a 3 conductor RCA
