Techkid is right--it's a loopback plug also called a loopback adapter. They monitor and test a transmission of electrical or data current (meaning electricity) from it's starting point all the way back to the completion, thus making a circuit.
It's part of the Comp-Tia A+ test.
(P.S. to the first guy who answered, if you don't know the answer, please don't answer it. No offense, but for a Wiki to be accurate, it has to have the right information.)
loop-back plug is correct
i think a dianostic card
no... the answer is the loop back plug. Diagnostic card is an adapter card designed to discover and report computer errors

What can be used to test a serial port parallel port USB port Network port or other ports?
you can test it by using software& hardware.After connecting the parallel port in your cpu's back side and connect a small wire between 2 & 3 pin on another end of the cable ,then run a c program(in dos) fro transmiter and receiver.If ur parallel port is working then u can see both transmitted data & received data on ur PC.
Which network cable should you use to connect PC to printer?
Whether your printer uses a serial port, or parallel port, or USB port, or wifi, decides what type of cable you need. Name and model of printer? Have you looked on the maker's website or user guide for instructions?
How do you apply networking using lap link?
LapLink is a talker/listener application for transferring information between two computers. Serial port to the serial port or parallel port to parallel port communication is established between the two computers. One is set up as a talker and the other is set up as a listener.
How do you redirect a serial port to output out of the parallel port?
You don't. If you are wanting to plug something into the serial port, and it is the same size as the parallel port (it isn't a parallel port, it's a different plug for the serial), use an adaptor. I'm in the same problem. I have a laptop and a program that uses com1 and need to redirect serial communication (com1) to a parallel port since the laptop doesn't have a serial port. i have an adapter for parallel to serial connections but need to remap com1. your can redirect lpt1 outputs with mode lpt1=com1 but not the other way round. If the laptop has usb just grab a USB to Serial Adaptor. Am in the same boot. A Point of Sales app need to be connected via a com port for Receipt Printing... The Printer is a ESC/POS Printer but has a Parallel Connection... Works fine under Windows, but not in the POS App. What is needed is some sort of Virtual COM Port to Capture the Outputs and Redirect it the a Physical LPT Port. In doesn't sound hard, yet no ones don't it...
Can a serial port send data over a longer distance than a parallel port?
Usually, because a serial port doesn't have to deal with the problem of signal skew that can jumble the data on a parallel port and gets worse proportional to distance.
