Abstract: An in-house coaxial network includes an input (10) capable of connection to a cable or satellite television signal provider and which is connected to a signal splitting device (12) for communicating the signal to a plurality of outlets in the form of subscriber equipment, wherein a filter (36: 38) is positioned between the input (10) and the signal splitting device (12). The filter is adapted to reflect signals outside a frequency pass band used for data transfer thereby to reduce signal loss. By reflecting signals outside the frequency pass band, whilst at the same time passing all signals in the frequency pass band, the filter (36: 38) significantly reduces the signal loss between the plurality of outlets (16).
