Unit of Competency ICTCBL336 - Install and cut over metallic conductor cable to access network cabinet
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install and cut over a new metallic conductor cable to an access network distribution cabinet. The cable types are typically up to 200 pair copper cables in the carrier access network. The cabinet types may be mixed mode bearer cabinets in the access network and cross connect units (CCUs) or pillars.It applies to lines workers, field officers or technicians working for carriers, contractors or other service providers who install and rearrange copper cables in the carrier network.Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements apply to telecommunications systems. Work functions in the occupational areas where this unit may be used are subject to regulatory requirements. Refer to the ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide or the relevant regulator for specific guidance on requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for installation
  • Obtain project plan to scope work and gain approval from customer on key features of installation
  • Arrange access to site according to required enterprise procedure
  • Inspect site to develop work health and safety (WHS) plan and notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards
  • Determine cable route and type of network cable equipment from project plan, considering the location of other services
  • Obtain required plant, tools, safety equipment and materials for cabinet entry
  • Coordinate with other parties to minimise disruption to services and down time
  • Segregate incoming and outgoing cables to facilitate access and avoid overlaying and backtracking of cable
  • Notify stakeholders of proposed cut over details and proposed disruption to services
  • Undertake additional preparatory non-jointing work, as required, according to customer practices and site conditions
       
Element: Install required cable and termination modules
  • Evaluate existing termination module type and capacity
  • Install additional termination modules, as required, and modify existing housing capacity according to manufacturer specifications and industry practice
  • Determine cable route between parent jointing chamber and cable termination blocks according to customer practices, site limitations, equipment specifications and regulations
  • Select entry port and sealing arrangements
  • Install cable to cabinet
  • Arrange and distribute cable fan out and routing according to industry practice
  • Label cabinets, cables and joints according to industry standards
       
Element: Joint, jumper and cut over cable
  • Joint cable according to jointing standards, materials, joint type, location, customer practices and manufacturer guidelines
  • Install jumpers and cut away tails according to industry practice and to minimise service outages
  • Test cable for performance and rectify faults relating to cut over according to location, materials available and industry practice
  • Seal all joints and cabinet according to cable type, location, customer practices and manufacturer guidelines
       
Element: Perform tests
  • Visually check that all connections and interconnections are firm and sound
  • Electrically test all terminations for continuity according to customer practices
  • Reseal and pressurise cables
       
Element: Complete site restoration and project documentation
  • Supply test results to customer for future reference
  • Complete cut over report and design amendments report that shows final cable layout as part of as-built documentation
  • Recover obsolete materials and return to appropriate point for disposal
  • Restore siteaccording to customer practices or approving authority requirements
  • Notify appropriate personnel about completion of cut over and obtain sign-off

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.
