We've been upgrading some of our uplinks between our edge switches to dual 
gbit rather than dual 100mbit.  Cat6 was ran but we've been having a few 
problems, right now we've been having a few problems getting them to link 
up.  We crimp the cable, put the module in the 2950G's and plug it in.  No 
link, even with the 3750G set to mdix auto but if i take that same cable and 
plug it into a 10/100 port it links fine.  We've gotten a few 2950's to link 
with out a problem but the last 2 we did have not worked.  Figured it was a 
bad crimp but recrimped it 3 times now..  I dont have a tester so i'm going 
to buy one but i was just wondering if there was somthing special that 
needed to be done with cat6.  Were using the TIA/EIA B wiring scheme.

Any recommendations on a decent priced tester?
