Are you saying you bought a longer cable and it does not work? But it worked at the shop?

The maximum length for cat 5 cable is 100m, so it's not a length issue. My guess is that it a connector issue.
Did you have an older cable that was shorter? Does it still work? BTW, RJ-45 is the connector, and cat 5 is the cable.

Are you sure they didn't sell you a crossover cable ? ?
Either way i'd have taken it back by now...
