Abstract
A method for determining the position of the cores of a twisted-pair cable is intended to allow twisted-pair cables to be connected using the piercing technique. For this purpose, at a plurality of points in a scanning region which is axially and/or azimuthally extended with respect to an axis of the twisted-pair cable, an inductive coupling between a first circuit arranged at each respective point and the twisted-pair cable as a second circuit is determined, and a position of the cores of the twisted-pair cable is determined on the basis of the values determined for the inductive coupling at the points.

A method for piercing a twisted-pair cable, comprising:
- determining, at a plurality of points in a scanning region which is axially and/or azimuthally extended with respect to an axis of the twisted-pair cable, an inductive coupling between a first circuit arranged at each respective point and the twisted-pair cable as a second circuit,
- determining a position of cores of the twisted-pair cable on a basis of values determined for the inductive coupling at the plurality of points,
- determining a radial position relative to the twisted-pair cable, with respect to which the cores of the twisted-pair cable are arranged next to one another, and
- arranging a device for piercing the twisted-pair cable in said position.
