Information on Ethernet Repeater

The Ethernet repeater is a layer-1 internetworking device that simply re-times and regenerates the frames to transfer data from one network to another. Since the Ethernet repeater operates at the physical layer, it does not understand frame structures and can therefore only be used to connect networks of the same type. For example, a repeater could be used to link two Ethernet segments.
