slinga
pigtail är en vanlig engelsk metafor i tekniska sammanhang, men ovanlig i svenskan. Använder man grisknorr så tycker jag att engelskan lyser igenom i onödan. Men smaken är liksom grisbaken, delad.

"knorr"
The Swedish word "knorr" denotes the loop on a pigtail, so why not use it here? Keep the quotation marks to emphasise the metaphor.
