If you have a short in your cable, it would have to be adjacent wires in the cable.? Use an ohm meter to test adjacent pins on the connectors.? You may have to rig up wires attached to the probes on your ohm meter that are smaller than your probe tips.? The contacts in the connectors are recessed and your probe tips are too fat to fit into the recessed area.

There are communication testers, but I don't know if they can test adjacent wire shorts.? Even if they do, you can cut off your connectors and replace them for less than buying such a tester.? If you have an adjacent wire short, yours will be the first time I have heard someone having this problem.? Not impossible; just not common.
