Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
Telecommunications technicians and field officers who install earthing systems apply the skills and knowledge in this unit.
This unit may be applied to domestic, small office home office (SOHO), commercial or industrial installations and covers multi-storey and multi-site locations. It applies to indoor and outdoor installation of cabling and equipment within customer premises.
Communications applications include digital and analog, telephony, data, video, digital broadcasting, computer networks, LANs and WANs and multimedia.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to install telecommunications earthing system to metallic frames.
Assessment by a TITAB registered assessor is recommended.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements apply to telecommunications earthing systems.
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.
