L'invention concerne également un séparateur destiné à séparer une ligne abonné en une première branche de transmission comportant un filtre passe-bas et une deuxième branche de transmission comportant un filtre passe-haut. L'invention concerne également une terminaison d'une ligne téléphonique à paire torsadée destinée à la fourniture un service bidirectionnel comportant des signaux téléphoniques de bande basse fréquence et des signaux de ligne abonné numérique de bande haute fréquence.
