Ok, everyone. I'm looking for one or more Gigabit Ethernet testers to test product with which will actually test (signal-wise) a gigabit link for spec conformance The catch? It has to work with a gigabit injector in the middle, since it's really about testing the injector's performance

The next question is what form they need the signal. For example, on my workbench I have a gps distribution amplifier with several outputs that I can hook gps receivers with coax cables to. For testing things with patch antennas, I use a passive gps patch to couple the signal into the device.
