Networking -- bandwidth testers

What tools do you recommend for
"patch cable bandwidth testing" so
I can verify speed on a 400+ foot run,
even when CAT6 should really only
be run 300 foot ?

Fluke DSX-5000...

Why not use a repeater somewhere in the middle? You are correct that Cat 6 is rated for 328 feet.

What repeater solution do you recommend that does NOT need power since this is in the ceiling ?

The extender does pass through PoE if that matters.
True, but over 400ft it's not an option.
