Technicians and lineman installers who install and maintain network cable equipment within the broadband infrastructure deployment apply the skills and knowledge in this unit.
They may upgrade a coaxial or optical fibre cable as part of a HFC network, a broadband access network or a large customer private network.
A cable network can be for indoor and outdoor installations within a customer premises or a service provider access network and may be a domestic, commercial or industrial installation.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to maintain cable network in customer premises or service provider access networks. This may include communications applications in telephony, broadband, data, video, radio frequency identification (RFID), security and computer networks, including local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and multimedia.
Cable equipment is used for line and signal conditioning and may use optical or electronic technology in optical fibre hubs or hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) housings.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements apply to working at heights. If an elevated work platform (EWP) is required, verify state or territory law requirements for a licence to operate an EWP. Users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
If working at heights, achievement of the unit 'CPCPCM2015A Work safely on roofs' from the CPC08 Construction and Plumbing Services Integrated framework training Package fulfils this requirement.
