An enhanced amplifier for interconnecting a two-wire, bidirectional cable side transmission path and a two-wire bidirectional equipment side transmission path in a communication system includes a first splitter and a second splitter. The first splitter is formed of a cable-to-equipment voltage sense amplifier, a shunt current driver, and a series current compensator for generating a first simulated terminating impedance. The second splitter is formed of an equipment-to-cable voltage sense amplifier, the shunt current driver and the series current compensator for generating a second simulated terminating impedance. Other features disclosed include manual balancing circuitry for manually adjusting the cable side balance networks. Further, a loopback circuit is provided form facilitating remote testing and alignment of the amplifier from the cable side.
