Honored ContributorHmm, I guess this is solved now:
We have used an equalizer setting of "Medium High" and gain 0. I guess this was the default value of the Wizard. It looks like for such a short cable, the equalizer is contra-productive. When I either increase the gain or reduce the equalizer setting to low, things get perfect with every cable. When I increase the equalizer setting to high, even with touching I still get transmission errors. Some questions are still open: - Are there any recommendations which gain settings should be used? (e.g. depending on Vdiff at the receiver?) - Can the actually used equalizer setting be seen anywhere in the compilation report? It turned out that the used cable is twisted with a low turn count (about one full turn every 20cm) -> I guess this causes some cross-talk to the other pairs which then get "touch sensitive". And because of the bad equalizer setting things were only marginally working and therefore the touching had such a strong effect. But some bad feeling is still left behind...
