Need to know the name of a certain connector
I am trying to construct a Foot Switch for a camera at a dental office; however, I am running into a bit of trouble. This guide http://www.petapixel.com/2011/01/19/how-to-build-a-diy-camera-foot-switch/ has been a great help although it is not the same setup as mine. If we go from the computer we have a USB to DB15 female "gameport adaptor" from there we have a DB15 male going to a MONO male end, and from that we have a MONO female end going to another end that I am not too sure what it is called. I have attached the image of the end that I do not know the name on to this question. If anybody knows please let me know as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Looks like a DC polarity barrel plug rather than an audio connector
Seems a DC Jack female.
To know exactly the code:
- is there any orifice, hole in the center? I cannot say from picture.
- if yes, then take a caliper and measure the diameter: outer, inner and length.

I agree it looks like a power plug or DC as MASQUERAID said, but with some modification of black tape.
The rubber ring is on the tip that indicates power

where as audio like the one's you see on a headphone or PC speakers jack
mono audio cable 1/8th 3.5 mm has the rubber ring a little further in at the bottom of the tip.
For your consideration 3.5 MM mono jack

from the above, in the top photo, the end of that cable looks like the end of yours.
and another cable would plug into the one you have.

Looks like a 3.5mm power connector from a home made power pack
did you ever get your foot switch hooked up?
