Line 15:

* [[Differential amplifier]]s or receivers that respond only to voltage differences, ''e.g.,'' those between the wires that constitute a pair. This method is particularly suited for instrumentation where signals are transmitted through DC bias.

* An inductor where a pair of signalling wires follow the same path through the inductor. E.g. in a [[bifilar winding]] configuration such as used in Ethernet magnetics.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/H325.pdf {{Dead|title=Archived copy link|access-date=February2013-12-17 |archive-date=2016-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304000938/http://pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/H325.pdf |url-status=dead 2022}}</ref> Useful for AC and DC signals, but will filter only higher frequency common-mode signals.

* A transformer, which is useful for AC signals only, and will filter any form of common-mode noise, but may be used in combination with a bifilar wound coil to eliminate capacitive coupling of higher frequency common-mode signals across the transformer. Used in twisted pair Ethernet.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/H325.pdf {{Dead|title=Archived copy link|access-date=February2013-12-17 |archive-date=2016-03-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304000938/http://pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/H325.pdf |url-status=dead 2022}}</ref>

Common-mode filtering may also be used to prevent egress of noise for electromagnetic compatibility purposes.
