Answer 1

The device used to extend cable length of a network is Repeater.

Explanation:

In computer networks, a repeater is a device that boosts or recovers the signal in order to increase the cable length or range. The resistance in the wires causes signals to decrease (attenuate) when they travel long distances. The network's cable length is increased by a repeater, which strengthens the signal and permits it to go farther without getting worse.
