Abstract

The present invention concerns an ingress noise control system and an ingress noise blocking device which are used in a cable system to suppress ingress noise. In the cable system providing two-way communication using different frequency bands for transmission of upstream and downstream signals, the ingress noise control system includes, within a distribution unit, a two-way amplification unit, etc. provided in an upstream signal transmission path, a synchronous detection controller 6 for synchronously detecting the upstream signal transmitted from terminal equipment and separated by a low-pass filter 4 in a second separation filter 2, a gate switch circuit 5 which is turned on by the synchronous detection controller 6 to pass the upstream signal only when the upstream signal is synchronously detected, and an indicator 7 for indicating the on/off state of the gate switch circuit 5.
