This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to terminate metallic conductor cable or to join cable in a terminating block for a new cable installation or upgrade of cable capacity for an existing network or subsystem, or cabling infrastructure for convergence to next generation networks (NGNs).

It applies to individuals who work in technical roles carrying out indoor and outdoor, domestic, commercial or industrial installations for all communications applications, digital and analog, telephony, data, video, digital broadcasting, computer networks, local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs) and multimedia.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements apply to telecommunications systems. 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 Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) accredited registrar.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice	Yes	No	Comments/feedback
Access site according to customer and worksite requirements
Prepare for cable terminating work according to regulatory environment, cabling environment, cable type, cable identification, termination systems, earthing and protection, and records
Select correct termination tools and materials for installation
Notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards at cabling worksite
Identify remote power feeding services that operate at above telecommunications network voltage (TNV) inside customer premises
Contact customer where risks with remote power feed are identified
Remove all contaminants from worksite that may adversely affect termination and prepare worksite to ensure adequate visibility to minimise errors and to reduce eye strain
Design cable and block location within frame, with capacity for expansion where possible
Segregate incoming and outgoing cables for ease of access and to minimise overlaying and backtracking of cable
Remove cable sheath to allow for conductor length and installation requirements
Fan out cable pair groups to manufacturer coding system to ensure correct terminating sequence and unique identification as required
Install over-voltage protection devices to all cables with metallic component as required
Install terminating modules to frame according to manufacturer specifications
Fan cable pairs neatly to termination equipment to facilitate accurate termination
Terminate cable using correct tool, according to work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements, and manufacturer specifications
Earth cable shield to manufacturer specifications and industry standards
Conduct visual inspection to confirm termination colour code sequence has been followed
Test termination to satisfy performance specifications and record results as required
Label cable pairs clearly to provide an accurate identification according to manufacturer specifications, industry standards and customer requirements
Update records and plans with cabling details to provide accurate record according to industry codes of practice and current Australian Standards
Complete telecommunications cabling advice (TCA) forms
Remove installation waste and debris from worksite and dispose of according to environmental requirements to maintain safe worksite conditions
