The previous answer was great if I had a clue which I don't since I am new to this. How does a newbie (me) do the following that "DA" generously told me to do?:

"It will actually depend on the length of the cable. If it's a cable installed in a building, you'd have to use a specialized testers for that or use a multimeter to measure the capacitance between two of the conductors (use a pair if the conductors are twisted pairs). If you have a pair of conductors that is known to run the full known length, measure its capacitance. Then divide the capacitance of the pair in question by the capacitance of the full length pair and multiply that by the length of the full pair. This will be the approximate length to the break from the end you are measuring from.
If there is no good pair of conductors, lookup the standard capacitance per length unit. Then just divide the measured capacitance by the standard capacitance - it will be your length."

Can any of you good people recommend a video camera that costs less than £200, can create .mpg or .avi files and is easy to use?
