I'm thinking something like a "jumper capacitor?"
Each of the plugs are "mono" in style.
Hope this helps your Google search!

Best,
Scott

So, does the patent say what purpose it served?
What, if any, electronics are inside? Capacitors?

Best,
Scott

That Jack is known as a 310 type.

It looks to be wired to be used to provide a Loop back from TX to RX.
