Our company is moving to a new building, which is a perfect time to convert
to 10BaseT.  In wiring the place up, I'd like to keep to standards as much
as possible, and have a few questions.

1) Which is the preferred Jack positions W-G on pin 1 (the EIA spec), or    W-O
on pin 1 (the optional spec).
2) What's the best Belden part number for the 10BaseT wire?  Is it the 1154A
   IBM Type 3 wire, or something else?  I really would like the wire to adhere
   to the proper colouring standards.
3) We're running a few Novell internetwork addresses to each remote Data
Closet (about 99 meters).  I can either run multiple 4 pair wires, or a
single 12 or 25 pair wire.  Is this possible, or what is the    recommendation?

That should do for now.  P.S. I will most likely be using the Networth 4000
series repeaters because of their multiple (5) ethernet backplanes.

One last thing, what would be a good part number for the 12 or 25 pair? ie.
Belden 1231A for 12 pair, 1232A for 25 pair???
