While looking around for fiber optic Ethernet repeaters to buy, there seems
to be two distinct flavors:
plain repeaters (about $1,000 per end)
slightly fancier repeaters (about $2,500 per end)
The apparent difference is that for the extra cost, you get preamble
reconstitution, fragment extension and perhaps more careful retiming.
Still...some of the less expensive receivers nonetheless claim to be
IEEE802.3 compatible.
Am I mis-reading spec sheets? Is there really any difference?
