Unit of Competency | ICTRFN4178A - Maintain hybrid fibre coaxial broadband cable network |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to maintain a hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) broadband cable network. It involves routine maintenance tasks, analysing results and initiating corrective action.Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements apply to working at heights, confined spaces, crane operation, rigging, driving and other operations involved in this unit. Users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | Field officers from telecommunications carriers, service providers and contractors apply the skills and knowledge in this unit. They combine a broad range of optical and radio frequency (RF) technical skills with organisational skills to maintain the HFC broadband cable network, generally with limited supervision and guidance.Relevant job roles involve adjustment of optical and RF power levels, investigating sources of RF and broadcast interference to the network and conducting specialised tests to determine the status of the HFC network. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
