HeyI'm trying to make up some short (35cm) Ethernet cables to go between my patch board and switch. I had some old long ones (CAT5 - 26AWG) that I used temporarily, and the switch used to negotiate at gigabit speeds using them.My shorts ones using quality Dynamix CAT5E - 24AWG cable and Dynamix RJ45 connectors only connect at 10/100 speed. I have made 4 of them, each one meticulously made, each one gives me the same result, 10/100. It's driving me a bit crazy! The router at the other end is also reporting a 10/100 connection, so it's not just the switch reporting the lower speed.Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
