Abstract
A system for bypassing a signal tap that includes a pair of plug ports which are aligned with a pair of contact terminals that connect the conductors to the tap. The system generally comprises a pair of contact plugs adapted to be inserted into the plug ports and a jumper. Each plug includes a generally hollow body and a plunger. The hollow body is substantially open at a first end and terminates in a head surface, having an aperture therethrough, at a second end. Each plunger is moveable between a non-contact position and a contact position. The jumper includes at least two pins which are conductively interconnected and adapted to be inserted into the apertures to allow a signal flowing through the tap to flow through the jumper.
