Looking for a CAT5E BRET tester

Looking for a CAT5E BRET tester

Looking for a CAT5E BRET tester

(OP)
Hello,
I am looking for a device to perform a Bit Rate Error Test of CAT5E network cable over an 8-10 hour period and log the results.  These cables are delicate and I need to certify they are still capable of 1Gigabit speeds after installation on our machinery.  The cables are not in a building but on a robotic device, so I want to make sure I don't have any issues as the gantry moves.   
Thanks for the help,
Jim
 

RE: Looking for a CAT5E BRET tester

Google search on CAT5 network cable tester turns up thousands of hits... plenty of equipment out there, usually starting at several thousand $s and going up to around the $100k mark.

Thanks for the responses.  I am trying to find something that does data logging for an 8 hr period.  So far, the spec sheets I have read are not clear about this so I was hoping someone here was familiar with this equipment and could point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Jim
