1. A fiber-coaxial amplifier device comprising at least one output and a test point associated with the at least one output, wherein alternative first and second electrical paths are connectable to the at least one output, the first path connectable to the at least one output whilst bypassing the test point, the second path connectable to both the at least one output and the test point, and a switching element operable to connect one of the first path or the second path to the at least one output; and wherein the fiber-coaxial amplifier device is a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) amplifier device.
