From what I can recall, the reason gold plating is so common is because it protects the connector from wear and corrosion.
That’s right, but it’s mostly good for a more permanent connection. Like a patched music console. Fun fact. Chrome nickel ends for gigging musicians are typically better since they are constantly being plugged and unplugged. If you use gold ends on cables you’re constantly disconnecting and reconnecting you will just wear away the plating more quickly.
