    I'm afraid not!

    I test the cables with a 'BERT' (Bit Error Ratio Tester). It pours data in and measures what comes out and gives a result in the form of a number, I either see a zero or it goes in the bin!

    Simples! (squeek)

    Oops!

    Just noticed I typed 645 when I meant 622... or more accurately 622.080Mbps.

    Mike,

    Do you think there is any mileage in SATA cables, they're traditionally balanced but go upto 3GBPS!!

    I can't remember the model numbers off the top of my head, there are a couple I have access to. I'll note them down when I'm at work tomorrow and let you know. Theres a couple of HP jobs and 'a big blue and black thing' ... might be W&G.

    They're 'Telecoms' testers we use to error test SDH links. 622Mbps for STM4 and 155Mbps for STM1

    Cool

    Great Mike, I love measurements, they are soooo traceable as Avril Lavigne whispered in my ear recently.

    Thanks
