If host->disk works with both cables, they are probably good. The cable has 2 pairs, one for data and one for power/ground. It's possible that somebody did something really strange, like swap a couple of wires on both ends so that a meter will say the wiring is OK the pairs don't match up. That might work at slow speeds but not at high speeds. This is all getting pretty unlikely. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
