Abstract: In certain embodiments, an assembly has intermediate pods magnetically, but not galvanically, coupled along an electrically conductive cable. Each pod has a magnetic core surrounding and inductively coupled to the cable and one or more coils inductively coupled to the magnetic core. The pod transmits, for example, outgoing current pulses on the cable by inducing electrical signals in the cable using a transmitter coil and the magnetic core. In addition, the pod repeats, for example, incoming current pulses on the cable by inducing electrical signals in the cable using the transmitter coil and the magnetic core, based on electrical signals induced in a receiver coil via the magnetic core by the incoming current pulses. Such an assembly can function as a data collection system for scientific research and/or as an early-warning system for events, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, without having to modify the cable itself.
