Figure 3-5 shows an example configuration in which two repeaters combine to
form an extended 10 Mb/s segment and a 100 Mb/s segment.

Interconnecting Repeaters
You can interconnect two repeaters, providing up to 48 ports in the same
collision domain (segment). You can also connect the repeater to a single-
speed repeater (10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s).
To connect the repeater to another repeater, set the appropriate uplink switch
as described under “Setting the Uplink Switches” in this chapter and connect
the repeaters as shown in Figure 3-6.
NOTE
: At 100 Mb/s, the maximum cable distance between two repeaters is 16.4
feet (5 meters) while still allowing a maximum distance of 328 feet (100 meters)
for repeater to workstation/server connections. At 10 Mb/s, the distance between
two repeaters can be up to 328 feet (100 meters).
