Abstract
A method for determining a connection status of a device to a cable within a network environment is provided. The method comprises obtaining a signal from a non-data carrying wire of the cable by a detector that is digitally isolated from data transmitted in a data carrying wire of the cable within the network environment, modifying the signal transmitted by the non-data carrying wire to the device and evaluating the modified signal to determine a connection status of the device to the cable.
