Cut a small cable in two.. On one cut end wire up a 9v battery connector. On
the other cut end wire up a buzzer, or at least strip it so you can use a
meter to test the wire and shield.

Hook the 9v at the wall outlet. Go up to the splitter and check each lead
that comes up to the splitter. When you buzz, or get a 9v reading, you've
found that room.
