This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install supporting infrastructure for telecommunications equipment and associated hardware, including access equipment and associated media, power and monitoring equipment, and alarm systems.

It applies to field officers, installation technicians or technical supervisors working for contractors or other service providers who work on switching, transmission, radio networks and various transmission paths including cable, optical fibre, radio, microwave and satellite.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, technical work in telecommunications must only be done on extra-low voltage power levels otherwise it breaches the electrical licensing laws in Australia set within AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical installations known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules.
