I agree with the suggestion that the OP measure the SWR and if possible
the power at both ends with both cables. Something else is going on,
like maybe a bad cable or connector.

I am assuming this is VHF and if so I would say that there is a bad
connector at both ends - PL259s. These are not good enough connenctors for
use anywhere above HF, the are simply screened banana plugs. If this is a
ready made jumper for the CB market, the cable might not be anything like 50
ohms.
