Terminate metallic conductor customer cable
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
Technical staff who terminate metallic conductor cable apply the skills and knowledge in this unit.
This unit applies to all communications applications, digital and analog, telephony, data, video, digital broadcasting, computer networks, local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and multimedia. It may be applied to domestic, commercial or industrial installations.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to terminate metallic conductor cable for indoor and outdoor installations within customer premises. It also applies to joining cable in a terminating block.
The activity may be a new cable installation or upgrade of cable capacity for an existing network or subsystem, or cabling infrastructure for convergence to Next Generation Networks (NGN).
Assessment by a TITAB registered assessor is recommended.
The six unit competency set ICTCBL2005A , ICTCBL2006A , ICTCBL2008A , ICTCBL2012A , ICTCBL2017A and ICTCMP2022A , that meets the Australian Communications and Media Authority's (ACMA) requirements for Cabling Provider Registration (CPR), is generally used as part of a more specialised customer cabling qualification. This set is usually regarded as more suitable for new entrants where limited industry experience has been obtained and forms the major part of specialised qualifications, such as ICT20310 Certificate II in Telecommunications Cabling. When these six units are undertaken as a set within state and territory funding approved programs, the two benchmark CPR units (ICTCBL2136A and ICTCBL2137A ) are not required.
All customer 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 ACMA-accredited registrar.
