What standards exist for the physical work of installing and testing
Thin Ethernet cable?

Here's the situation:  We've got cable that's been installed and terminated
by several groups (both internal and external) in several buildings.  Some
of the work is abysmal - insulation that ends 1/4" below the connector and
exposes the braid, gobs of braid-hair extending from the connector,
connectors that come off with 20 lbs. force, etc.

Now I know that's not acceptable, but the people who did the work insist
it's "good enough and meets specs".  Are there any sources that address
these mechanical elements of the installation?
