ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided for use in tracing a cable; the apparatus and method allows a cable to be identified at any point along its length. The apparatus includes a transmitter for applying a unique waveform to a cable of interest, a line terminator for forming a cable loop through which current can flow, and a detector which is capable of detecting both voltage (electric field) and current (magnetic field). The unique waveform induces both a magnetic and an electric field in specifically identifiable patterns.
