Hello,
I am looking for a device to perform a Bit Rate Error Test of CAT5E network cable over an 8-10 hour period and log the results. These cables are delicate and I need to certify they are still capable of 1Gigabit speeds after installation on our machinery. The cables are not in a building but on a robotic device, so I want to make sure I don’t have any issues as the gantry moves.
Thanks for the help,
Jim

Google search on CAT5 network cable tester turns up thousands of hits... plenty of equipment out there, usually starting at several thousand $s and going up to around the $100k mark.

Thanks for the responses. I am trying to find something that does data logging for an 8 hr period. So far, the spec sheets I have read are not clear about this so I was hoping someone here was familiar with this equipment and could point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Jim
