To amplify only analog signals
What is the primary purpose of using a repeater in a network?
To increase the networking distance by amplifying the signal
What is the primary function of a wired repeater?
To receive and repeat signals in wired LANs
What type of repeater is capable of reconstructing a distorted signal?
Digital repeater
At which layer of the OSI model do repeaters operate?
Physical layer
What happens to the signal as it travels away from the source system?
It gets weaker and may lose its quality

What type of repeater is used in fiber optic communication systems?
Optical repeater
What is the benefit of using a repeater in terms of data transmission?
It reduces the error and loss of data during transmission
What type of networks can repeaters be used in?
Both Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs)
Test your knowledge of repeaters, a crucial networking device used to amplify and generate incoming signals, increasing the distance of Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs). Learn how repeaters work at the physical layer of the OSI model and their role in reducing error and data loss.
