Repeater
A Repeater is a small device
that extends the signal on a cable run, allowing you to work
around the distance limitations on network cabling that we saw in
chapter 2. The repeater does this by taking the signal and re-generating
it so that it can travel longer distances, somewhat like an amplifier
allows sound to travel farther. Typically there would be two ports on
the repeater, one for the signal coming in from one side of the network,
and the other for the signal going out to the other side of it. The
repeater may function as a multi-port repeater, regenerating
signals that run across multiple cables. A repeater is most commonly
used to extend cable runs in backbones. In rare cases
it may be used when connecting an important client workstation to
the network, if that PC’s distance from the other devices on
the network is too great for a standard cable run to be sufficient.
As noted above, frequently repeater
functionality is included in network hubs.
