EIA / telco "standards" for switch/datacenters?

Absolutely....

Datacenters or more generically "premise wiring" should always adhere to
EIA/TIA-568 "Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standard". This
standard includes not only the 568A/B ethernet cat5 wiring standards for
pair assignment (USOC, ATT, etc.) but also defines standards for home runs,
concentration methodologies, wiring closed standards, acceptable cable bend
radius parameters, etc. etc. EIA/TIA-568 is the standard that most any
wiring contractor uses. If memory serves, the standard also addresses color
coding schemes on cable runs as well.

I would bet that panduit's website would have details of the standard
online.
