A repeater connects two segments of your network cable. It retimes and regenerates the signals to proper amplitudes and sends them to the other segments. When talking about, Ethernet topology, you are probably talking about using a hub as a repeater. Repeaters require a small amount of time to regenerate the signal. This can cause a propagation delay which can affect network communication when there are several repeaters in a row. Many network architectures limit the number of repeaters that can be used in a row. Repeaters work only at the physical layer of the OSI network model.

What kind of network infrastructure can have repeaters?

Wireless networks often use repeaters to extend the network signal to distant locations. Ethernet repeaters are commonplace as well, as there are limits to the lengths that cables will function at.


How would a repeater be used in an Ethernet segment?

Repeaters are usually used in coaxial based ethernet networks. For this purpose they are used to extend the length of a network segment. For example, in a 10base2 ethernet network the maximum length of a segment is 180 meters. A repeater could join two segments together to increase the length of the network and the number of clients in the network. In today's modern networks you will see neither coaxial networks nor repeaters in a LAN. Repeaters are used for DSL transmissions, but not for LANS.

Can you use repeater in LAN?

Yes - a repeater would be used to extend the distance of the LAN segment. Repeaters were used primarily in coaxial copper networks but are rarely found in LANs anymore.


How many types of repeaters are there?

Signal repeaters are generally used in the telecommunication and electronics industries. There can be passive radio signal repeaters, multi-port repeaters, optical signal repeaters for optical fiber and digipeaters which repeat packet data.
