The Ethernet link loses its stability, dropping from a fast 1 Gbps speed to a much slower 100 Mbps.

You're experiencing connectivity issues depending on the cable path. It sounds like the setup might be affected by signal degradation or interference. Try using shielded cables to reduce noise and check for ground loops. If you're unsure, consult an expert before making changes.
It might be that the cabling isn't set up correctly for 1000 Mbps. For this speed, all eight wires in the RJ45 connector need to be properly connected. I understand methods where fewer than four cables are used per RJ45 to reduce bandwidth, but you're asking about a setup with just one cable. Do you have dual connectors available and only one is connected?
