Reasons for your cable not working problem could be shoddy twisting in the cable.

The 90 metre limit is the actual run of the cable, and allows for up to 5 metres patching at either end to make the grand total of 100m :)
And yes, poor twist ratios make all the difference to CAT5 cabling - keep the twists
ALL the way to the end.
