Yup, that's the sort of thing that's typically missing from cable testers. I have a USB cable that normally works fine, but introduces errors when doing full blast USB 2.0 bulk transfers. I keep it around just in case I ever come across a tester that can show me this in hard numbers.

It is difficult to send 10Gbps, 20Gbps, 40Gbps or even 80Gbps, then receive it, then validate it.
