Do you guys know of Copper cable tester that cost around $1K, and can test and certified CAT6 runs up to 10Gbps ?

I dont mind a used equipment as long as it is in good condition and can certify ethernet runs up to 10Gbps.

has anyone used one of the new PoE Microscanners? would be nice to hear some real world experience -- it's hard to find reviews online.

The new POE microscanners looks promising at that price. I will look into it.

Below is the best video I found about the product and what it can do with samples.

Looks like amazon have them for just a tad over $600, I am seriously considering this even only for my home usage :)

The Fluke Microscanner PoE doesn't do certification does it? It just tests if the cable is capable of supporting a 10GBE link.

A certification device tests if the cable is conforming to a CAT* spec, crosstalk, shielding, etc etc.

I believe the Fluke Microscanner PoE is a cable tester, which simply tests if it's able to negotiate a 10GBE link on the cable, it's not meant to be used as a cable certifier i believe.
