30 m CAT6 cable length seems too long

I have tried using a UNIFI AP from an unmanaged 108 switch.  It works off 1 m lengths of cable.  But when attached to about 30m, the AP connects successfully for 30 seconds and then drops and reports...

Try a different cable. I've to frequently seen sketchy cables cause issues. And if it works at 3-6ft, it should work up to 300ft.
