This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to terminate signal and data cables and covers fixing, securing, identifying and marking conductors and cables.

Where termination of cables is undertaken to pre-determined specifications and procedures then unit MEM03004 Perform electronic/electrical assembly (production) should also be selected.

Where termination and connection of other cables is required unit MEM10002 Terminate and connect electrical wiring should also be selected.

Where termination and connection of specialist cables is required unit MEM10011 Terminate and connect specialist cables should also be selected.

Where higher levels of electrical/electronic measures are required unit MEM12004 Perform precision electrical/electronic measurement should also be selected.

Where the selection and use of power tools/hand held operations is required unit MEM18002 Use power tools/hand held operations should also be selected.

Some jurisdictions may require the holder of this unit to be licensed or certified and users should check with the relevant authorities.

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.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.
Legislative requirements and statutory regulations include one (1) or more of the following:	ACA Technical Standards AS/ACIF008 , AS/ACIF009 SAA Communications Cabling Manual (Open) AS/NZS 3000:2007 Electrical installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules) Telecommunications Act 1997
Types of cables include one (1) or more of the following:	thermocouple/compensator cables, including MIMS transmission cables thermoplastic/elastomer insulated/sheathed compensating cables coaxial telephone Category 5 optical fibre extra low voltage control cables
Tools include one (1) or more of the following:	Krone tool cable strippers crimping tools, e.g. RJ45 crimping tool slitter tool pliers
Terminations include one (1) or more of the following:	crimp wire wrap (non-insulated and pre-insulated) solder connectors multi-terminal plugs and sockets, fibre optics coaxial terminal blocks

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.
