If your success rate is pretty good couldn't you just test multiple units at one time. Just use your current testing procedure, but more units daisy chained in a row. If data transmits through multiple units successfully then all of the units in that row must be good.

    Probably two laptops, doesn’t need to be anything fancy, my 2006
    Lenovo X60 with GigE port does the full 950Mbps TCP.____

    Demand for our GigE surge suppressor has been growing such that I am
    now limited by my test station throughput. ____

    ____

    Any ideas on how to test a GigE device go-nogo without buying more
    big dollar testers (which I currently use)?____

    ____

    It needs to be fast and show speeds in both directions. ____

    ____

    Have considered just putting up a GigE switch and plugging the surge
    suppressor into two ports and seeing if they light.  But that sounds
    pretty cheap and dirty.  Want to see numbers.  A laptop talking to
    another laptop with iperf may end up being the solution.  Not sure
    if there are GigE USB NICS so I could do it all on one laptop or
    not.____

    ____

    Any other ideas?____
