This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to joint metallic, conductor cable on the service provider side of the network boundary in communications applications, including digital and analog, telephony, data, video, digital broadcasting, computer networks, local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs) and multimedia.

It applies to individuals working in technical roles who joint metallic conductor cable for indoor and outdoor installations on new installations and cable upgrades, and maintain infrastructure in domestic, commercial and industrial situations for service providers and asset owners.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements apply to telecommunications systems. 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 (ACMA) accredited registrar.
