The SebaKMT CI Cable Identifier is a cable selection system for safe identification of a cable prior to cutting or mounting. The CI TX transmitter generates impulses into the target cable; the CI RX receiver with flex clamp confirms identification through polarity monitoring, delivering an absolute reliable result. We are the authorised SebaKMT distributor in Ireland.
Why cable identification matters
Wrong cable selection can result in fatal consequences for the operator and loss of supply for connected customers. Whether you are working on cable jointing, replacement, or installation on MV or LV networks, positive identification is a safety-related task that precedes every cut.
How the SebaKMT CI cable identifier works
The system has two components: CI TX transmitter and CI RX receiver.
The CI TX transmitter generates single sawtooth impulses with peak current up to 100 A into the target cable. Impulse voltage is limited to 55 V, well below the dangerous contact threshold. The current flow produces an electromagnetic field with defined polarity around the cable.
The CI RX receiver picks up the signal through a 230 mm flex clamp (135 mm option available). The processor of the CI RX synchronises with the pulse and evaluates impulse shape, polarity, amplitude, and frequency at 2-second intervals. Special software function controls and verifies all parameters, generating an absolute reliable statement about cable identity.
The directional clamp combined with parameter monitoring provides safe selection regardless of interference. Only the correct conductor shows matching polarity. All others show opposite. No ambiguity.
What is included in the kit
The kit comprises CI TX transmitter, CI RX receiver, 230 mm flex clamp, connection leads, and transport case. Rated IP54, it is suitable for typical field conditions.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cable identifier used for?
A cable identifier enables safe selection of a specific cable within a group before cutting, jointing, or mounting. Wrong selection can result in fatal consequences for the operator and outages for connected customers.
How does the SebaKMT CI provide reliable identification?
The CI TX transmitter generates impulses that create an electromagnetic field with defined polarity around the target cable. The CI RX receiver’s software controls and verifies all parameters (impulse shape, polarity, amplitude, frequency), delivering reliable identification regardless of interference.
