High speed data communication is either Cat-5 TP or fiber.
     
     You can dismiss the need to test fiber by engineering argument
     
     Cat-5 TP should be tested using a clamp.

Don,
     
I would assume that a "High Speed Bus" over 3 meters in length would most
likely
be a shielded cable. In this case you can't use the clamp. You'll have to
use 
the direct couple method into the shield of the cable  through a 100 ohm 
resistor. This method is also described in EN61000-4-6.

Don,
     
If no CDN networks are suitable - and indeed they are not for high
communication
lines -, you should consider the possibility to use the EM-clamp as
described in
EN61000-4-6. That's the way we perform tests without degradation of the EUT 
signals.
     
Regards,
     
Chris
