MFJ analyzers, such as the MFJ-259B, have a distance-to-fault function. I 
use it on my system, and can find a problem within a few feet on a 2000-3000 
foot cable.
Of course a creative person could do the same thing with a simple RF 
generator, a T connector, and some way of measuring signal level at one port 
of the T.
