Home Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Military has these

reflectometers. They send a pulse down a cable and measures the reflections. They can determine how far down the cable the issue lies. For cables like a cat 5, a sharp bend, or an over tightened zip tie can make a measurable difference.

In hindsight, (no I don't have one, but placed a bid for several at DRMO auctions), the issue may not be the wire itself but must be the insulation, too.
