Repeaters

A repeater is a physical layer device used to interconnect the media segments of an extended network.A repeater essentially enables a series of cable segments to be treated as a single cable.Repeaters receive signals and transmit them at their original strength and definition.This increases the practical length of a cable.Installing cable segments enables signals to travel further.Repeaters are incapable of performing complex filtering and other traffic processing.
