Rocket 5AC lite only 100Mbit

This weekend i started using a wispswitch, model WS-24-400A. Very impressed with how it works.
But i have an issue, i hooked up a Rocket 5AC lite to it, also powering it, but the rocket only shows 100Mbit on the lan port. Not the gbit is should be capable of.
Is this a know issue? Should i check the cable? The cable was working 1gbit with the original UBNT poe injector though.
Firmware version switch is 1.3.3
I used port 9 for this device set to 24V. Port 1 to 3 power some airfibers, and they are 1Gbit.

did you run a cable diagnostics on the port in question? if you did & it reports ok, please try another port on the switch with same cable, if it still only works at 100mbit, try another cable.

I had a similar event when connecting an AF5X, the cable test fingered "Abnormal termination pair 4" at a distance that looked conspicuously like the distance to a splice I had done, chopped out and replaced the splice and BAM Giggety Giggety Connectivity

Just did a cable diagnostics:
Pair 1 Status Ok
Pair 2 Status Ok
Pair 3 Status Ok
Pair 4 Status Open
Seems i need to have a look at the cable. Weird thing is that it worked on Gbit with the UBNT poe injector.

I tend to preach this like a born again Christian, but check your crimp. An overcrimped RJ45 plug can work perfectly in one jack and fail in another. Of course, check the jack too for a stuck spring pin.

It's an active link, will test asap and report back here. 100mbit is sufficient for now, but not as it should be.
Thanks for the feedback!!

Just reporting back here, replaced the connector on the switch side, and now it's 1Gbit fortunatly, saves the effort of replacing a connector up in the tower.
Thanks for the feedback, all solved now :-)
