Time domain reflectometry?
eg

Other ways

Can you measure the cable impedance , DC resistance? Google cable impedance and cable resistance.

Can you get access to both ends of the cable?

NOTE
These are "real world" measurements... and you will probably need a 80c51 and a good ADC.

You should work out your theories (prove them) 1st before starting any design hardware.
