The Four-Repeater Rule
The IEEE 802.3 standard provides general rules for 10Base-T cable length and
network connections on single segments of cable or on point-to-point links with
media attenuation and signal propagation delays. The basic rule is that, for any
network, the maximum number of repeaters in the data path between any two
nodes cannot exceed four.
