If the amplified signal bridge hears an X-10 signal on one electrical phase, it amplifies it and sends it on to the other phase at a much greater signal strength (can also send to a third phase if you have 3 phase electrical).

It is not a signal block however. To block incoming X-10 signals we also offer another product that is designed for that purpose. It is installed in front of the amplified signal bridge and requires that that the main electrical service be disconnected while it is being installed (electrician recommended). Normally, I don't recommend this type of product unless the customer is pretty sure that a very close neighbor is an X-10 user, and changing your own house codes doesn't solve the problem. To receive an X-10 signal in your home from outside of your home, your neighbor would have to be on the same side of the utility electrical transformer and would also have to be in close proximity to your home (X-10 signals degrade over longer distances as is evidenced by the need for a signal bridge in your own home). This really doesn't happen too often but is most likely to happen in apartments and condominiums.
