It may well be the cable, crosstalk can cause that. Speaking of our office again, we had all the ports/cables tested and one was showing as out of spec. It actually works fine, but only syncs at 100Mbit.
You're going a relatively short distance, but does your cable have many sharp bends in it? Is it near or going over power lines, maybe? Either way, a quick test would be to take a router of some kind and a short ethernet cable, then plug that into your PC. You don't need internet access to see if it syncs higher than 100Mbit.
