We are in the process of putting the DB-15 connectors on the ends of tranceiver cable. The tranceiver cable comes with 3 22-gauge pairs and 1 20-gauge pair. Does anyone have the specification handy and can tell me which pins should get the 20-gauge pair and which should get the 22-gauge pairs (if it really matters).

From the Cabletron ST-500 booklet:
      1 Logic Ref         
      2 Collision +       9 Collision -
      3 Transmit +       10 Transmit -
      4 Logic Ref        11 Logic Ref
      5 Receive +        12 Receive -
      6 Power Return     13 Power
      7 N/C              14 Logic Ref
      8 Logic Ref        15 N/C
The 20-guage wire is most likely for pins 6 and 13.  The 22-guage
pairs would then go to 2 & 9, 3 & 10, and 5 & 12.
BTW, Ethernet V2.0 and IEEE 802.3 specs call for four pair of 20-guage
wire.
