Problem with network patch cable

Hi,


I have used two network patch cables to connect my DVD player to a switch,
but only one works. The one that works is rather long (~10m) and thus I
bought a smaller one (2m) but I can't get it to work. They tested the
pairing of both cables and told me they are the same and working. Now I'm
wondering whether there's a difference between the two cable types I got:


Working Cable: E188601 (UL) TYPE CM 75°C LL84201 CSA TYPE CMG FT4 CAT.5E PATCH CABLE TO TIA/EIA 568A STP 26AWG STRANDED
Broken Cable: YFC FTP CAT.5E PATCH ISO/IEC 11801 & EN 50288 3P VERIFIED FOR GIGABIT ETHERNET - 26AWGx4P TYPE CM (UL) C(UL) CMH E164469


Does anybody now why the one cable works and the other does not?

Make sure the cable pairs are wired according to spec.
