The Smarter Way to Locate and Recover Copper Cables
Rugged, accurate, and app-connected. Our patent-pending copper cable recovery tool uses unique signal processing and magnetic field sensing to identify the right cable in seconds. No mid-span or mechanical access, no guesswork, no miscuts.
How the Copper Cable Recovery Tool works
Signal detection in seconds, with a confidence score that eliminates doubt.
Generator injects
The generator injects a unique signal onto the target copper cable.
Receiver detects
The receiver detects the trace using magnetic field sensing, even in busy ducts.
App confirms
The companion app confirms the right cable with a live confidence measurement.
Map created
A GPS-stamped map of every recovery is created automatically for full traceability.
Impact for both network and field teams
Protect revenue and prevent theft
- Prevent cable miscuts with positive identification before cutting.
- Theft prevention via meters-measured vs meters-recovered with GPS stamps.
- Job productivity: do more with fewer engineers using confidence scoring.
Trace, cut, and go, safely
- Shorter lane closures, or even eliminate the need for notice.
- No requirement to climb into a chamber, lowering manual handling risk.
- Submersible test head reduces exposure to waterborne diseases.
Wider applications of the technology
Proprietary signalling that is less susceptible to cable crosstalk, opening up larger business cases.
Freeing up duct space
When a duct is full or nearing capacity, make informed decisions on which cables to cut and remove.
Large COAX networks
Relevant for US-based carriers running extensive legacy coaxial infrastructure.
Theft tracing & prevention
Identify when a contractor is not recovering cable truthfully, with actual vs measured visibility.
MDUs & data centres
Ideal where large volumes of legacy copper may exist and need auditing.
