Your electric guitar jack is humming when you touch the cable the hum goes away you've ruled out the cable it's definitely the jack?
Well ...duh?
so i understand it is humming when it is plugged into the guitar.
sounds like a grounding/loose touch problem.
aside from the obvious clean up (a brush with a contact clean fluid applied on- watch that it doesnt hit the guitar finish)
the jack cavity inside your guitar is quite flexible to fit both the top of the jack head and the tube.
so if you can reach it without causing damage and gently flex it - good.
if you have no idea let a repairman do the job as it may require new grounding and gentle assembly of the jack plate.
