How can I confirm that an ethernet cable is free of defects? I have a bunch of ethernet cables around my house. Some are apparently defective, and cause network problems when used. When these problems happen, they are often intermittent and hard to reproduce or diagnose. I don't want to blindly throw out all my cable and replace it. This would be a lot of work and cost quite a bit. Some cables might be fine and not need replacement. The new cable I buy might be defective as well. I'd like to have a way to measure the quality and confirm that the old cable is bad and the new cable is better. How can I do this?
