Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
Technical staff who splice and terminate optical fibre cable for telecommunications projects apply the skills and knowledge in this unit.
They may carry out new installations, upgrade an optical backbone or access network provisioning for greater bandwidth and capacity required by emerging technology convergence for Next Generation Networks (NGN).
This unit may be applied to commercial or industrial fibre to the premises (FTTP) installations.
This unit does not include consideration of mechanical splicing. For mechanical splicing, refer to ICTCBL3010B Install and terminate optical fibre cable on customer premises.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to splice and terminate optical fibre cable within an optical telecommunications transmission environment.
This work is essential in provisioning of National Broadband Network (NBN) infrastructure for high speed and high bandwidth transmissions.
Assessment by a TITAB-registered assessor is recommended.
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 Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)-accredited registrar.
