When making the patch leads of around 1metre the gigabit side of things are working perfectly. However I made a lead which was 30 metres long and for some reason it is only 100mb ethernet as opposed to the gigabit that it should be.
this is the way the patch leads are wired up

Can anybody shed some light on this, I've checked the cabling to make sure theres no cracks/dents etc and also to eliminate this further have also make a second cable of 30m and still the same 100m ethernet. The 1 metre patch lead was wired up in exactly the same way and gives out gigabit speeds.
Should i be looking into some sort of amplificaton....
Any help would be great.
Many Thanks

Hi everyone
I have come across something like this before and it was down to external rf interference, I have to admit it was in an industrial environment though.
