Over a 1 meter distance I doubt the cable makes a lot of difference unless
it is really nasty stuff. I'd look more closely at the connectors/method
of transitioning to/from your regular cat 5. A bad impedence connector
could be causing all sorts of problems. As someone has already pointed
out winding the speed down to 10Mbps should help.
If this is a submarine application be aware that 500m of water pressure
does strange things to the impedence of cables etc. Something that works
on the bench may not work under pressure.
For underwater comms over any real distance we go fiber optic, unless
the customer has other ideas.
