As many have mentioned here, TIA/EIA-942 is a good starting point. There are a 
couple of good Data Centers books out there, also (a visit to your local 
Borders or B&N could allow for an interesting afternoon browsing). I have 
personally had positive experience with some docs and advice from some folks 
with expertise in cable management and data centers infrastructure:
