Did you find out what you need? Somewhere around here I have the equations that closely approximate twisted pair for 26 Awg and 28 Awg wire from DC to 10MHz. They were derived from empirical modeling. You can make various approximations to simplify their use.
That includes impedance, loss per length vs frequency, etc. I don't think they take into account being close to conductors, like a shield, or crosstalk between pairs, because that's another analysis, but they're *extremely* useful for predicting attenuation versus frequency for analyzing the expected performance one will get from DSL modems. - Robert - Robert A.
