Abstract:
A connectionless signal detection device for detecting data signals present on conductive cables, comprising:at least one magnetic core assembly having a first and a second position, and that is divided into a first assembly section and a second assembly section, each of said first assembly section and second assembly section being wrapped with a conductive wire with said assembly sections movably connected and allowing the magnetic core assembly to be placed in the first and the second positions;an elongated alignment channel, having an encased elongated channel, disposed between said first assembly section and said second assembly section, wherein said first assembly section and said second assembly section are positioned opposed to each other, axially aligned and positioned concentrically about said elongated alignment channel;a housing for non-removably securing the at least one magnetic core assembly;wherein said first assembly section includes a first input wire and a first output wire and said second assembly section includes a second input wire and a second output wire, and said first assembly section and said second assembly section are electrically connected in a bucking fashion so that said first output wire from said first assembly section is connected to said second output wire of said second assembly section; andfurther comprising tuning circuitry coupled to said magnetic core assembly, said tuning circuitry processes signals induced on said first input wire and said second input wire and further distinguishes between signals associated with at least two networking communication signal frequencies.
