Place and secure customer cable
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
Technical staff who install and provide cabling infrastructure for customer premises and equipment apply the skills and knowledge in this unit.
They may be required to do new installations, upgrades or maintain existing networks in domestic, commercial and industrial installations. Communications applications include digital and analog, telephony, data, video, digital broadcasting, computer networks, local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and multimedia.
This unit applies to indoor and outdoor cable and systems within customer premises.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to install customer cable infrastructure. It involves selecting cable route, setting up cable dispensers and placing and securing cable.
The activity may be for a new cable installation, upgrade of cable capacity for an existing network or subsystem, or cabling infrastructure for convergence to Next Generation Networks (NGN).
Assessment by a TITAB registered assessor is recommended.
The six unit competency set ICTCBL2005B , ICTCBL2006B , ICTCBL2008B , ICTCBL2012B , ICTCBL2017B and ICTCMP2022B , that meets the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s (ACMA) requirements for Cabling Provider Registration (CPR), is generally used as part of a more specialised customer cabling qualification. This set is usually regarded as more suitable for new entrants where limited industry experience has been obtained and forms the major part of specialised qualifications, such as ICT20313 Certificate II in Telecommunications Cabling. When these six units are undertaken as a set within state and territory funding approved programs, the two benchmark CPR units (ICTCBL2136B and ICTCBL2137B ) are not required.
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 ACMA-accredited registrar.
