I often receive audio and video cables that are either intermittent, shorted or broken at some point along the length. At the moment, I have quite a few XLR microphone cables. What causes an XLR cable to become shorted across all the cores along its length?
Is there an easy way to pinpoint where the intermittent connection is or where it is shorted/broken along the cable?
I am aware of TDR techniques but wondered if there was a simpler method - more for my curiosity rather than anything else.
