PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare cable termination

1.1 Arrange access according to customer and individual worksite requirements

1.2 Prepare for cable terminating work within regulatory environment, cabling environment, cable type, cable identification, termination systems, earthing and protection, records and relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards

1.3 Select correct termination for installation according to strategies to manage infrastructure and relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards

1.4 Notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards at cabling worksite

1.5 Identify remote power feeding services that operate at above telecommunications network voltage (TNV) inside customer premises, and risks posed by contact with remote power feed

1.6 Remove all contaminants from worksite that may adversely affect termination and prepare worksite to ensure adequate visibility to minimise errors and reduce eye strain

1.7 Design cable and block location within frame with capacity for expansion where possible

1.8 Segregate incoming and outgoing cables for ease of access and to minimise overlaying and backtracking of cable

2. Terminate cable

2.1 Remove cable sheath to allow for conductor length and installation requirements

2.2 Fan out cable pair groups to manufacturer’s coding system to ensure correct terminating sequence and unique identification where appropriate

2.3 Install over-voltage protection devices to all cables with metallic component where required

2.4 Install terminating modules to frame according to manufacturer’s specifications

2.5 Fan cable pairs neatly to termination equipment to facilitate accurate termination

2.6 Terminate cable following work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements to manufacturer’s specifications using correct tool

2.7 Earth cable shield to manufacturer’s specifications and industry standards

3. Test termination

3.1 Conduct visual inspection to confirm that termination colour code sequence has been followed

3.2 Test termination to satisfy performance specifications and record results if required

4. Complete records and clean up site

4.1 Label cable pairs clearly to provide an accurate identification according to manufacturer, industry and customer standards

4.2 Update records and plans with cabling details to provide accurate record according to industry codes of practice and current Australian standards

4.3 Complete telecommunications cabling advice (TCA) forms and provide to customer

4.4 Remove installation waste and debris from worksite and dispose of according to environmental requirements to maintain safe worksite conditions
