I would start with the comp.dcom.cabling FAQ at:

	http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/LANs/cabling-faq/faq.html
or
	ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.dcom.cabling/
				Data_Communications_Cabling_FAQ

It hasn't been updated in some time, I think that those involved have
been overwloaded with other work...

Then follow up with the following URLs:

	http://wwwhost.ots.utexas.edu/ethernet/
	http://www.industry.net/tia
	http://www.eia.org/
	http://www.andrewboon.com.au/html/BOONSCS1.html
	http://web.syr.edu/~jmwobus/lans/

The actual wiring standards/specifications are not available on the net
as far as I know (ANSI, IEEE, EIA, etc. all derive some chunk of their
support income from document sales...)

Let me know if you need any more info.  I have a ton of stuff (papers,
elec. files, URLs, etc.) crammed away here.  Some of it is actually useful!
