Can the length of an Ethernet be increased to many segments of 500 meter each merely by adding a repeater to connect each additional segment?

Yes, 2.5km is the maximal operating range of ethernet, or basically 5 repeaters. Repeaters known as repeaters are cheap but rare, but a switch will do the same thing...since signal conditioning is part of their basic funtionality. Beyond 2.5km, you will need a fiberoptic backbone. If your looking into gigabit, you will need high quality cable and straight runs....but mostly repeaters have to be put in at 100m in a corporation to achieve a full gigabit thoughput, otherwise the switch will reneg down to 100..
