Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package. |
Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan an integrated cabling installation system, including cable routes for intelligent power and lighting, information and communications, entertainment systems, distributed video and audio, energy management and control, security and safety, digital home health and aged and assisted living. It includes determining immediate and future cabling needs of an installation, including origin and termination points, planning cable routes, specifying cable types and sizes, fixing/support methods and cable identification systems. It also includes documenting cabling plans based on calculated and/or deemed-to-comply solutions. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
