Abstract

A saturable core reactor (28) is interposed between a subscriber premises (12) and a node (18) in a shared network (10) for reducing the incidence of noise associated with signals passing between the subscriber premises and the node. When combined magnitude of the signals and any noise embodied therein exceeds a prescribed threshold, the saturable core reactor saturates, preventing excessive noise from passing in the network.
