Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install simple point-to-point broadband cabling on customer premises.

The unit applies to technical staff who install and terminate new installations or upgrades, or maintain existing networks in domestic premises. These may include small offices, home offices and small commercial premises that do not have a main distribution frame (MDF) or jumperable distributor as the network boundary point.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements apply to telecommunications systems. Work functions in the occupational areas where this unit may be used are subject to regulatory requirements. All customer cabling work in the telecommunications, fire, security and data industries must be performed by a registered cabler. All cablers are required to register with an Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) accredited registrar. Refer to the ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide or the relevant regulator for details of licensing, legislative or certification requirements.
