The 40 meters you describe is well within the max length of the cable (at least for CAT 5 & 6). The connector connecting the two segments together may be introducing loss.

If you can swing it go fully wireless with this or something similar: https://www.amazon.com/QW-CPE5450-Wireless-Bridge-Point/dp/B072Y5S8YX/

We installed a Ruckus point-to-point bridge at our office a few years ago when we were out of the office space for renovations and connected to a temporary office. I am pretty sure you can find consumer grade options that are not as expensive as the equipment we bought in 2011. "wireless bridge" and maybe "point-to-point bridge" would be what I would search for.
Here's a kit Note that you'll probably need a hub or switch at the remote side in addition to this hardware.
