An arrangement of components for use in a power line communication system, comprising:
- an inductive coupler having a core with an aperture through which a coaxial power cable is routed, wherein said coaxial power cable has a center conductor and an outer conductor;
- and
- a lead being routed through said aperture, wherein said lead connects said outer conductor to a termination.
A method for coupling a signal via a coaxial cable for employment in a power line communication system, comprising:
- routing a coaxial power cable through an aperture of a core of an inductive coupler, wherein said coaxial power cable has a center conductor and an outer conductor;
- and
- routing a lead through said aperture, wherein said lead connects said outer conductor to a termination.
An arrangement of an inductive signal coupler around a coaxial power cable for use in a power line communication system, comprising:
