10Mbps and 100Mbps are both pushing boundaries at 100m+. You will get issues with timing.

You could get two tin cans and a piece of string.

Option 1:
[Comms cabinet in server room]---------fibre link-------[comms cabinet 2]

Option 2:
[Comms cabinet in server room]---------100m CAT5 STP link-------[comms cabinet 2]


Option 3:
[Something else and everyone says what a muppet you are for recommending it]/

Egg answered the question in the first reply tbh.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

I bought some couplers from RS and used them. They worked fine :)

Although mine and the other guys PC still seems to time out/give connection errors, even though testing the cable is fine. Probably because of the 100m+ cable run though....
