i made a male version of this 4 times and then bought a ABC RJ45 switchbox for my work desk, so i could choose between computer audio and desk phone audio and cellphone audio through my work headphones… lets you bump your own music in between calls without dealing with pause buttons etc… worked great.

A manual switch?

Does it care that it isn’t the sort of signal it is expecting? I guess since it’s a physical switch it may not care.

yes its a manual switch, the analog audio signal doesn’t know or care. those boxes have no electronics.

some older people enjoy having a oversized knob to play with.

A friend of mine has an AC power to Ethernet adapter cable.

In unrelated news, he was once told that his employer would not replace the horribly out-of-date office printer until it was 100% unrepairably dead, and it mysteriously died a couple of weeks later.

Really hope it involved a baseball bat and a field.

Nah, visible damage is a no-no. For small items that “we don’t replace them as long as they work”, a few seconds in microwave does the trick.

For larger ones, you need to penetration test them against 220 volts.
