Ready-made, certified cables tested using stock standard cable tester.

With regard to my original question, I dig deeper and have found
some problems with MB layout. Basically the network adapter
(Intel btw) is completely integrated in the chipset, with just four
lines on the outside (+ 3 lines to control LEDs). On the motherboard
there is only integrated RJ45 module jack (with transformer & LEDs).

The design violates the rules regarding the length and spacing
of the routes. I still have to find what exactly is wrong with
it but probably too long tracks increase loses to unacceptable
level and it doesn't work with some adapters.

Best regards,
Trebor.
