4.4 Using coaxial filters

The frequency band of the dLAN signal transmitted
over coax lines ranges from 2 to 68 MHz. This does not
preclude interference emissions from occurring, de-
pending on local conditions, above this frequency
band despite the very low dLAN signal level. If these in-
terference signals impede other applications on the
line, you have to use a filter.

To decouple the dLAN 500 AVpro UNI signals from the
transfer point of the TV signal, we recommend using a
coaxial filter. 
You should use a coaxial filter: 

If you want to isolate your dLAN network from the
rest of the coax infrastructure to protect the sig-
nals produced by the dLAN 500 AVpro UNI from
being affected by other devices outside of your
dLAN network.

If you want to protect your dLAN network from
interference or other transmissions within the
same frequency band.

If you want to protect your dLAN  network from
interference using a Docsis modem (or other cable
modem). In this case, install a filter between the
cable modem and the dLAN network.
