Copy and paste to your ACAD.LIN

Load them, they will show what they mean.

(google for ethernet cable types)

Your best source to understand the "syntax" of linetype definitions is Help, which covers the topic pretty thoroughly.

Here's the AutoCAD 2014 Help, About Linetypes and Linetype Definitions.It's fairly straight forward. 

Hope it helps,
