OBi100 and Simonics GVGW, status now offline - SOLVED
Darlynne:
I plugged the OBi cable into the desktop and also plugged it back in to the router. In both instances, the OBi showed as registered, the green power light was solid, and I was able to make calls. I don't know how long that will last, but it doesn't appear to be a problem with the cable or port. I'll check everything again in a few minutes and report back.
Darlynne:
The OBi unit is still online and working. I am puzzled that unplugging/plugging the cable would fix this, but who knows? I'll see what it looks like in the morning and, with any luck, I can mark this solved. Thank you for your help.

I've seen stranger things. "Reseating" electronic parts can do wonders :) Looking forward to your next update.
Darlynne:
And many hours later, still registered, still solid green. It appears the smallest change was the key. Thank you for your help.
GPz1100:
Maybe the wires inside the ethernet cable make a poor internal connection when bent a certain way or maybe something is wrong with/at the connector(s). It's rare for a cable to go bad but it happens. I have a length of cat5e which used to perform at gigabit speed but now only manages 100mbps. I think one of the wires is making poor or no contact at the connector.
