Abstract
An analog Ethernet detector determines if an IEEE 1394b long haul application using Category 5 (CAT 5 UTP) cable, is connected to an Ethernet which share certain pins of the RJ45 connector used to connect devices to the CAT 5 cable. The detector does not require a processor core or clocking and can be built as a completely analog device.
