I'm using Meinberg GPS NTP Servers. They are working fine and no problem with SVs.
Still doing some tests. Will report back once I have anything extra to add. Thanks.

All they do is place a DC bias on the twisted pair. Ethernet is always transformer coupled so your routers, switches and computers never see DC. What is your NTP server using for a reference clock? I'd suspect that is the problem. If the reference is an Internet pool server than a few mS is about what you should expect. If using GPS then look to see if you have a good signal from enough satellites. But those POE boxes don't mess with the data packets, or at least the are not designed to do that. If one is broken it could be adding noise to the line. Broken hardware can do "anything".
