In local networks, repeaters are used to connect two Ethernet segments in order to expand the network across several sections. Repeaters forward data packets from one network segment to the next, by "boosting" the electrical signals according to the standards, whereby the content of the packets remains unchanged. When a repeater detects a physical error in one of the segments, the respective segment is disconnected ("partitioned"). The partitioning is automatically removed as soon as the error has been eliminated. Maximum four repeaters are permitted between any two stations. This rule however only applies to repeaters in series. In the case of tree-type networks, an unlimited number of repeaters can thus be integrated.
A device that amplifies an electrical signal received from one piece of transmission medium and passes it on to another, similar, piece of transmission medium. A repeater is commonly used to extend a cable beyond its recommended maximum length.
