I remember seeing a chart somewhere that listed cable loss vs. SWR into an
open (or was it shorted?) coax. Just open or short one end, measure the
SWR, plug that value and the length into the chart to read the loss.
Admittedly, this would be difficult for a cable already installed, but it
would be an easy way to check an unknown piece in the junk box.
Anybody remember where that chart was published?

I have used 50 ohm BNC 'terminators' with adapter to verify coax. Start
with terminator on analyzer, should be flat VSWR over wide band. When at
other end of coax should be same.
