NOTE, you can also use a small jumper and short the cable at the room end, and then look for a reading of very close to 0 ohms.

Thanks for that Tink,
Just so I am clear: with resistor or shorting, I’m connecting between copper center wire and outside case/nut and measuring resistance across same at other end? Never knew this.
