Test cable bearers
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
Technicians and line installers whose work involves testing cable bearers apply the skills and knowledge in this unit for customer cable and service provider networks.
They may use cable test routines for testing connections, signal strength or loss of cable links to manufacturer's and design specifications.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to test cable bearers. It involves setting up, testing, interpreting test results and determining appropriate action.
This unit applies to the testing of all cable types (metallic, optical fibre and coaxial).
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.
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.
