The only way I can think that it would be a cable problem is if there was a
short in the wire somewhere. Unplug the CAT5 from the suspect port, do a
shut/no shut do you get the same result? Better still plug a PC into the
port, does it stay up/up? Then plug a PC in another port with an FTP server
on it and do some file transfers, then check for errors.

Subject: Switch port failure on 3548 [7:15089]
> Hello colleagues,
