    Publication number: 20030157885
    Abstract: A bypass data repeater (40) permitting data signals to bypass a CATV amplifier (30) in a CATV system (1) includes a downstream data path including a first data receiver (401) and a first data transmitter (402) serially coupled to one another, an upstream data path including a second data receiver (403) and a second data transmitter (404) serially coupled to one another, and circuitry (405, 406 or 412, 413) for temporarily disabling one of the first and second data transmitters (402, 403) when the data signals are received by a respective one of the second and first data receivers (403, 401). A CATV system (1) permitting data signals to pass bidirectionally between a headend (HE) and a television (TV) to bypass a CATV amplifier (30) is also described.
