Best hardware for a fast local Ethernet?

Dear all,

I am setting up a new Ethernet network at home, I am going to have a good 100 Mbps internet connection (optic fiber) with a modem that have a gigabit ethernet card.
I would like to to measure the speed of data transmission between several servers that are going to be connected to the new modem (box) via some Ethernet cable, therefore one of my questions is:
What kind of software tool do you recommend to measure the performance of a local Network?
Does the cable can make a difference? Should I purchase a certain type of cable?
Thanks for any recommendations or pointing some quality documentation about optimizing the speed of a local network

Many thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

LIEBERT(8)							    NUT Manual								LIEBERT(8)

NAME
liebert - Driver for Liebert contact-closure UPS equipment NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the liebert driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8). SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver supports some Liebert UPS equipment with a contact-closure interface. This includes the UPStation GXT2 with their contact-closure cable. The smart mode ("Multilink") cable is not supported by this driver. EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver does not support any extra settings in the ups.conf(5). BUGS
This driver does not yet support shutdowns by raising DTR. Be aware that shutdowns are not possible with the stock contact-closure cable. You may have to build another cable with DTR connected through to the UPS for it to work. There is no way for this driver to detect the hardware or cable. It will start up successfully even if no UPS is present. This is a fundamental limitation of any contact-closure driver. SEE ALSO
