When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
connecteur de shunt
It is clearly a removable connector-type plug, so although one lmight use 'fiche', I suggest that 'connecteur' is probably more suitable here.
The exact word needed to complete the term may depend on exactly what this action of 'linking out' in fact achieves, but the idea is generally that a dummy plug is inserted that carriess connections that will enable the main equipment to function correctly in the absence oif (say) what should normally be plugged into the socket — a typical example might be to allow a machine to work even if the hard-wired remote control is removed.
In this sense, the 'linking-out' usually involves some sort of notion of 'by-passing', hence why 'shunt' might be one suitable option; if you know more about the linking-out process, you might be able to find a still more suitable term instead.
