Abstract: Presented is a device and method for identifying a cable in a group of cables, where a transmitting inductive coupler is placed on one end of the cable and a receiving inductive coupler is used to identify the cable from among several cables. The inductive couplers are of a novel construction using split rings and copper windings around each half of the split rings. A meter is used to measure how much signal is on each of the cables tested, and a comparison of the readings indicates which cable is the same cable to which the transmitting inductive coupler is attached.
