Something you plug into a port/ slot on a computer that tells it there is a network/connection active on the port but, it is just a facade created by the loopback adapter, you see them a lot in IT technicians tool bags
Loopback plug
to test a network cable
A loopback plug

You would use a Loopback Plug, this allow an output signal to be returned as input.
External hardware is hardware that is connected externally to a computer using its peripheral ports. Examples are VDU, keyboards and mice.
A port allows you to plug hardware into your CPU.
Exact definition of loop-back plugs will depend on what application we are talking about. Mostly these are connector plugs with a metal inside to short two electrical signals. There can be loopback plugs for different applications. These can be for a serial port or an Ethernet port or loopback plugs for specific signals on a connector or on a printed circuit board. These are very useful for debugging and testing an electronics problem. E.g. one can do a loopback on PC serial port's Transmit and Receive (Tx and Rx) lines using a loopback plug or a metal short to see if the serial port is working fine. Similarly Ethernet ports can be tested with a loop-back plug made for the purpose. - Neeraj Sharma

No. Connectivity test does not require a live network. It does however, require a loopback adapter/plug. If you're using the same book (Network+ Guide to Networks 5th Edition by Tamera Dean). You should find your answer on the bottom of page 254. :p
