Depends on what you mean by cheap.

Addtron makes a 5-segment repeater that DataComm Warehouse here in the
States is selling for $169 US.  The ad's pretty small, but it looks like 1
AUI, 2 BNC, and 2 RJ45.  You might have a look at 

http://www.warehouse.com/ and search for DER1096 (Data Comm catalog).

I have no association with these people...
