Tried testing the cable before you crimp the ends on?

Use your ohmmeter:

Strip off both ends, at the first end twist all eight wires together, at the 
second end you should read a short between all cores.

Then, at the first end untwist all eight wires and ensure they are not 
touching, at the second end you should read an open circuit between all cores.

May save another trip under the house...
