[QUOTE="Topper, post: 299437, member: 186250"] Welcome to the forum Llama_thumper Well it depends on what equipment you have to hand really. If you know any telephone engineers then a test toner would be handy if you could borrow it for a few hours. Simply connect to one end of the cable and find the one that gives produces a tone at the other end. Alternatively you could (assuming there is no other equipment connected) short out the core and braid at one end then find which is short circuited at the other using a simple meter at the other end.
