It would have helped if the installers (before my time)
hadn't wire-tied the cat 5 runs to the nearest 110v A/C
lines... three-foot parallel runs, in fact...
and management refuses to believe we need to re-cable..
I was even threatened by my supervisor-at-the-time and
told not to bring it up again, as it would be a 5-digit
refit cost.

Sounds like you need to think about using STP shielded
cabling if you have
that much noise on the LAN.
