A method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, a control signal via a control signal channel in a transmission cable, wherein the control signal is received from a remote device; receiving, by the computing device, a data transmission via a data transmission channel in the transmission cable, wherein data transmissions via the data transmission channel occur in a first direction and a second direction in a same frequency range in a time division multiplex, TDD, mode, and wherein the control signal and data transmission are diverted from the transmission cable that is configured to transmit a type of signal different from the control signal and the data transmission; controlling, by the computing device, switching logic to form a first path to an amplifier system or a second path to the amplifier system based on whether the control signal specifies the first direction or the second direction to couple the data transmission to the amplifier system, wherein the amplifier system amplifies data transmissions in the first direction and the second direction at different times; routing, by the computing device, the data transmission through the first path via the switching logic when the control signal specifies the first direction and through the second path via the switching logic when the control signal specifies the second direction; amplifying, by the computing device, the data transmission using the amplifier system; and diverting, by the computing device, the amplified signal in the first direction or the second direction via the data transmission channel back to the transmission cable; wherein the control transmission channel is located at a first frequency range that is outside of a second frequency range of the data transmission channel. receiving, by a computing device, a control signal via a control signal channel in a transmission cable, wherein the control signal is received from a remote device; receiving, by the computing device, a data transmission via a data transmission channel in the transmission cable, wherein data transmissions via the data transmission channel occur in a first direction and a second direction in a same frequency range in a time division multiplex, TDD, mode, and wherein the control signal and data transmission are diverted from the transmission cable that is configured to transmit a type of signal different from the control signal and the data transmission; controlling, by the computing device, switching logic to form a first path to an amplifier system or a second path to the amplifier system based on whether the control signal specifies the first direction or the second direction to couple the data transmission to the amplifier system, wherein the amplifier system amplifies data transmissions in the first direction and the second direction at different times; routing, by the computing device, the data transmission through the first path via the switching logic when the control signal specifies the first direction and through the second path via the switching logic when the control signal specifies the second direction; amplifying, by the computing device, the data transmission using the amplifier system; and diverting, by the computing device, the amplified signal in the first direction or the second direction via the data transmission channel back to the transmission cable; wherein the control transmission channel is located at a first frequency range that is outside of a second frequency range of the data transmission channel. <EOS>
