You can do one or all of the following: 

• buy a cable tester or network tool that can test a cable
• if you have manageable switches, look at the current port status
• if you have unmanageable switches, look at the port LED's since many of them will display the port speed, and possibly duplex. 
• lastly check the host connected to the switch, like your laptop, access point, etc, and see what speed or duplex it reports.
