The Jack plug we all know is over a century old, and it has evolved over the years to include the latest offering, the TRRS jack, which allows microphone signals and headphone signals to go down the same cable.
Here is an explanation of jacks, including the difference between stereo and balanced, which is something easy to confuse as it uses the same connector.

Good vid thanks. Mic cables are a rabbit hole. 1/4”, 6.5mm, 6.35mm, xlr, 3.5mm, condenser mic, dynamic mic, phantom power, pre-amp…. Gahhhh!!!😮

Excellent commentary! I wonder will it help for my Fender champion 600 hum issue by changing the single band to a double band plug? What do you think?

That’ll be a different issue. A double banded plug only offers an advantage if the source is balanced. Guitars are all unbalanced so no advantage would be gained. Does the amp hum when the guitar volume is all the way down as well as up? If the hum goes away when you shut the volume on the guitar, then it is a grounding issue, either with the guitar’s electronics, or the cable itself. The environment is also critical-computer monitors, lighting, other mains devices, etc., are all enemies of electric guitar pickups…

My Champion 600 it hums even without my guitar plugged in! If I turn the volume down the hum it decreases, and If I turn the volumes up the hum gets louder. So, I’ve tried unplugged the speaker jack from the amp, the hums from the power transformer and output transformer are barely noticeable.So, could the issue be the grounding? Could a b better grounding speaker can solve the hum problem?
