Re: Upstream noise filter I worked in a few systems where they would throw those HP filters on any line that didn't have equipment on them. It wasn't necessarily because the TV or cabling was throwing noise back into the line, but it was a preventative action.
The system that I am in now is an "open" system, meaning that they do not want any HP filters anywhere for the purpose of self-installs. They want us to fix the cause of the actual problem if there is one and remove any HP filters you see from the old cable company. If we find a leak and the customer is not home, we are now given some varied value 5-54mhz pads to use in lieu of the HP. That way, the return still works, but the noise is attenuated until we can get inside the home.
All that said, if your cabling inside your home is contained, meaning you have good connectors everywhere and well shielded cables, the removal of that filter likely would not affect anything. However, if it is questionable, it would be best to leave it until you have the problem fixed. |
