Patent ID: 8653971

Claim:
A sensor security detector tape for wrapping around an object to be protected, comprising: a material strip having a predetermined width and a predetermined length and first and second ends; a plurality of separate and parallel electrical signal paths arranged along the predetermined length of the material strip, each signal path having a first end at one end of the predetermined length of the material strip and a second end at the other end of the predetermined length of the material strip and operative in a non-alarm condition to carry a signal; a first connector coupled to each first end of the plurality of signal paths and connecting adjacent pairs of the first ends of the plurality of signal paths to one another; a second connector coupled to each second end of the plurality of signal paths and connecting adjacent pairs of the second ends of the plurality of signal paths to one another; wherein the connected pairs of first ends and second ends by the first and second connectors, respectively, establish a single continuous electrical signal path; the first connector operative to couple an electrical signal from a signal source for transmission over the single continuous signal path; the second connector operative to couple the electrical signal transmitted over the single continuous signal path to a signal detector; and wherein a break in any of the signal paths causes a loss of the electrical signal transmitted over the single continuous signal path and indicative of an alarm condition.
