I've crimped my first RJ45 connector onto a Cat6 network cable and it seems to work fine (yey Internet). Now I wonder, how to test the cable thoroughly, i.e., how to test whether it is able to reach its Gigabit maximum?
I do not have one of those fancy cable testers which are horribly expensive. Is it enough to copy some file from one computer to another and check the data transfer speed? Are there any command line utilities (Windows 10) to test network loss on high-speed transfer?
2You should look for errors on you switch port(s). Re-transmissions, underruns, overruns, runts, giants, input errors, collisions, etc. – Ron Maupin – 2016-03-17T21:18:42.800
