Patent ID: 7175471

Claim:
A loop plug comprising: a conductive housing including first and second halves which together form a loop back passage through the housing extending between first and second openings on a front face of the housing; a center conductor having a U-shaped positioned in the loop back passage and including first and second ends extending from the first and second openings, respectively; an insulator around at least a portion of the center conductor; first and second conductive barrels mounted to the housing and in conductive contact with the housing, each of the first and second conductive barrels mounted around one of the first and second ends of the center conductor, respectively, each of the first and second conductive barrels extending parallel to each other from the first and second openings of the housing, the insulator separating the center conductor from contact with the first and second conductive barrels; a non-conductive handle mounted to the housing, wherein the handle defines an arm with a tab surface at a distal end of the handle, wherein the arm is offset from a center axis of the handle, wherein the tab surface faces toward an opposite end of the handle.
