speed of 100M not 1000M

Hello. Two of my ports are giving out 100M instead of 1000M (yellow colour, not green). Running the cable tester they are showing that 2 cable are 15 metres in length. Is there a solution for this to be able to get the full speed? Any device I need to purchase?

  • Typically a physical problem - Gigabit requires four correct wired pairs (eight strands). Are the devices supporting more than Fast Ethernet? Is the cabling fully qualified and tested? Are the connectors healthy?
