If you miss wire it you'd expect to either get no connection all or a connection that's limited to 100Mbps.

A 100Mbps limit isn't going to cause the problem you're seeing.

Is there something special about this cable that makes it worth re-terminating?

Can you swap cables about to test the dodgy cable on one of the PCs currently hitting 50Mbps?
 
If it's an issue with the PC you need to find out if it's a hardware or a software (more likely) problem.

Try Windows Safe Mode and/or booting into a Linux Live environment. If you get full speed with either approach you'll know it's a software problem.
