What device should I use to extend an ethernet network bearing in mind that the max number of repeaters has been used?
 
Try using a media converter, this would allow you to switch from UTP to Fiber and back again.

repeaters? why not use switches? they will separate the network into separate collision domains thereby getting around the rules
