I would do this and if it is the wiring use a half splitting technique with an
ohm meter and check between each pin on all the individual wires for ~0 ohms.
If you have a short that will show it. I would guess it is most likely not a
short though if you built the cables yourself. Check the ends and make sure
the pins that stab into the wires are properly penetrating. If you have a
switch or router in this mess, connect a computer or two to it with known
good cables to verify it's working. Substitute cables until you find which
one is causing the problem.
Goodluck
