Clearly, your experiments show that the cable is responsible. The
unshielded cable is not radiating significantly in the FAC (or any
signals it produces are not being picked up by the receiving antenna),
but it is radiating on the OATS. As to why that is, far more detail
would be required of the physical arrangements in order to do more than
guess. For example, the cable might be straight on the OATS but bundled
in the FAC. The common-mode impedance might be different in the two
environments. 

You could do a lot more tests to try to find out the fundamental reason.
Or you could just use a screened cable and bear that matter in mind for
the next product.
