Assessment Requirements for UEEDV0005 Install and maintain cabling for multiple access to telecommunication services

Modification History

Release 2. This minor update is the second release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package. Errors that don’t impact unit outcomes in the Range of Conditions, Performance and Knowledge Evidence were corrected.
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:
applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including: applying safe working practices using risk control measures accessing and interpreting telecommunication systems diagrams planning cable route within building constraints checking tools, equipment and testing devices for correct operation and safety laying and connecting cables for multiple access to telecommunication services, including: terminating cabling at both distributor and outlet locations with one cable being greater than 20prs, one cable of 20pr or less and one 4pr cable installing and terminating two jumperable distributors with a capacity of 100 pair or greater allowing excess cable to terminate labelling outlet ends in accordance with industry standards securing cables in accordance with industry standards reading and interpreting drawings related to cable layouts, outlet location, cable coding system, identifiers and distributor locations installing and termination a network termination device (NTD) determining earthing requirements and earthing conductors within resistance limitations segregating and protecting telecommunications reference conductors (TRC)/communications earth systems (CES)/protective earth (PE) wires against damage installing surge suppression devices completing documentation in accordance with industry standards and telecommunications carrier requirements terminating and testing cables commissioning a telecommunications cabling system.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations two jumperable distributors with a capacity of 100 pair or greater a cable in excess of 20 pair, a cable of 20 pair or less and a 4 pair relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
