I made several ethernet cables over 75 feet to fish through my house...the PC's they are connecting to all say the cable is unplugged, is it possible that they signal can't go that length and/or is there a booster or something I can do.... I spent a lot of time and money on these cables...... :sad:

Here is a diagram for a correct cable:
