Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

interpret, discuss and confirm required work

obtain and check documentation, equipment and hardware for required work

complete an impact risk assessment

inspect fibre connectors using inspection scopes

clean connectors using approved methods

handle optical fibre cable and connectors to prevent damage

complete patching as per patching schedule and under the direction of the relevant authority

follow work health and safety (WHS) requirements and anti-static precautions

follow required practices or contingency plan if hardware replacement is unsuccessful

update fault records and complete required documentation

restore site to required condition

liaise with appropriate personnel for information and reporting purposes.

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:

explain application of direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electrical principles to required work

describe static electricity and its importance in testing and working with telecommunications equipment

outline performance testing and fault finding techniques of telecommunications networks

describe the operation and purpose of testing equipment

describe behaviour of faulty network elements including symptoms and impact on network

summarise common telecommunications hardware and network structures

list types of power sources used in telecommunications networks.

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 networks engineering field of work and include access to:

a suitable site to replace telecommunications network hardware

a range of hardware currently used in industry

a range of general and test equipment required for testing telecommunications network hardware.

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