Ingress noise in a hybrid fiber-coax transmission system (10) may be reduced by employing asymmetric taps (301'-308'.30"-308".) between a pair of line extenders (28-28) for attenuating downstream and upstream information by different weights. The downstream weights of the taps are selected to achieve a substantial constant power level at each tap for individual subscribers (14-14). The upstream attenuation of each tap is selected to allow for a nearly constant level of subscriber-generated information to be received at the line extender while the subscriber generated upstream information is supplied to the taps at a constant value that is maximized to reduce the effect of ingress noise.
