Got a really strange issue with G105 - switch

A healthy and standard compliant cable will always allow a 1000Mb (full 1GbE) on four pairs, or in case it's reduced to two pairs 100Mb (Fast Ethernet). There is nothing like 200 in between.
Reads more like a wiring problem, much more than a switch issue.

Strange swapped port and still does it, I have recrimped all cables and checked the sockets are croned now seeing something strange the left hand light on the port is flashing but not the right. Thought they were rx/tx so no idea how you can have only one. And the connectin is working even with only a single light? Or does it show speed on the gs105?
It’s so frustrating as it worked perfect until some animal chewed through the cable

Or does it show speed on the gs105?On the unmanaged GS105, the port left LED indicates 100 Mb/s, the right LED indicates 10 MB/s. Flashing means activity. both pot LED on indicate a full 1Gb/s link rate. Here is the ProSafe 5-Port Gigabit Switch GS105v4 Installation Guide for further reference in case the printing on the switch is not informative enough.
