All types of network connections suffer from attenuation and pulse distortion. For a given cable specification and bit rate, each has a maximum length of cable. Repeaters can be used to increase the maximum interconnection length and will do the following:
Functions of Repeaters
- Clean signal pulses.
- Pass all signals between attached segments.
- Boost signal power.
- Possibly translate between two different media types (e.g., fiber – optic to twisted – pair cable)
