  I think Fluke has bought just about everybody at this point.  Except
for Agilent, but their stuff makes Fluke's look cheap.  Be warned that
this stuff is super-expensive.  A cable analyzer that can certify to
Category 6 will cost you several kilobucks.

  Anything that costs less than that (new) is probably not a real
cable analyzer, but rather, an automatic multiline continuity tester.
Maybe it will have a TDR to measure the cable length.  But to certify
for Category 6, it needs to test a bunch of performance
characteristics, and that's what costs.
