Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

install, terminate and certify a structured cabling installation to industry standards, applying related work health and safety (WHS) requirements and work practices

install termination hardware

conduct a termination test and interpret the results

verify compliance with manufacturer’s installation specifications and warranties

provide a report certifying the installation and test results to the client.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

identify Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) competency requirements for Telecommunications Cabling Provider Rules

identify legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements that impact on the work activity

identify and describe the application of industry standards on cable bending, anchors, tension, twist and labelling

list and describe the tools and equipment commonly used in cable installations and testing

describe the features and operating requirements of test equipment

describe the types and structure of cable and termination hardware used in communications installations

describe the information required to operate equipment according to a test specification

identify the manufacturer’s requirements for safe operation of equipment

identify specific WHS hazards and requirements relating to the activity and site conditions

describe test methods and performance requirements

describe the different types of records and documentation that may be required for certification and reporting

identify typical issues and challenges that occur on site.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications – cabling field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and materials. These include access to:

sites where installation, termination and certification of structured cabling may be conducted

testing equipment currently used in industry

relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on installation.

Note: All client 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 (ACMA) accredited registrar. Assessment by a Telecommunications Industry Training Advisory Board (TITAB) registered assessor is recommended for this unit.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
