(foldoc) | repeater
A network or communications
device which propagates electrical signals from one cable to
another, amplifying them to restore them to full strength in
the process. Repeaters are used to counter the attenuation
which occurs when signals travel long distances (e.g. across
an ocean).
A network repeater is less intelligent than a bridge,
gateway or router since it works at the physical layer.

(foldoc) | Fiber Optic InterRepeater Link
FOIRL
(FOIRL) An older standard of fiber optic guides
used for carrying 10 MBps Ethernet. The maximum length of a
segment is 1 km. A FOIRL multiport repeater and
transceivers are necessary to carry the signal to multiple
devices.
The more recent version of Ethernet over fiber optic cables is
10baseFL with a maximum segment length of 2 km.
