Just finished wiring the garage to the house - and find that the wire is damaged! Now what?

I mean, the simplest answer is to lay a new cable, and that is definitely what I am going to do - that's not my question.

But this is a long run, and it would be neat if I could salvage some of that cable. How can I discover where the cable is damaged?

One stupid solution would be to halve the cable and crimp each end, and then test each new cable. Repeat iteratively. I would end up with a few broken cables and a bunch of tested cables, but they might be short.

How do the pro's do this? (Short of throwing the whole thing away!)
