ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for cable modification and cutover | 1.1 Obtain relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards for given work 1.2 Scope work by obtaining project plan from appropriate personnel and arrange for site access to comply with security arrangements 1.3 Notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards at worksite 1.4 Determine cable route and type of cable from project plan, and identify and avoid other services 1.5 Obtain plant, tools and safety equipment and material to perform tasks safely and efficiently 1.6 Prepare implementation plan with cutover tasks based on identified nature of job and seek client approval 1.7 Notify client and network carrier of proposed cutover details and proposed disruption to services 1.8 Undertake additional preparatory non-jointing work, as required, according to enterprise guidelines and site conditions 1.9 Select labour support required according to cutover tasks and available skills 1.10 Select technical equipment for cutover to suit materials being used, cable type and joint enclosure |
2. Joint and cutover cable | 2.1 Follow work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements for given work 2.2 Joint cable according to sequencing plan, materials, joint type, location, and enterprise and manufacturer’s guidelines 2.3 Test cable for performance and rectify any faults relating to cutover according to location, materials available and industry practice 2.4 Seal all joints according to cable type, location, and enterprise and manufacturer’s guidelines |
3. Complete project documentation | 3.1 Record test results for future reference, complete reports on cutover installation and design amendments to reflect existing cable layout according to enterprise requirements 3.2 Recover obsolete materials and return to appropriate point for disposal 3.3 Restore siteaccording to requirements of enterprise or approving authority and to client satisfaction 3.4 Notify appropriate personnel completion of cutover and obtain sign off |
Evidence of the ability to:
prepare for cutover
rearrange cable
conduct tests to determine success of cutover
interpret results and rectify faults occurring as a result of cutover
apply regulations and standards related to the cable rearrangement
comply with all related health and safety requirements and work practices.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
recognise cabling types, connectors and cabling structures
describe legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements that impact on the work activity
describe the manufacturer’s requirements for safe operation of equipment
explain how the cutover of cable is performed on the client's equipment
specify the health and safety requirements relating to the activity and site conditions
describe the test methods and performance requirements
describe the features and operating requirements of test equipment
Identify typical issues and challenges that occur on the worksite
describe the purpose of warranties and service level agreements (SLA).
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications – cabling field of work and include access to:
systems and equipment involving cutover
installation equipment currently used in industry
relevant regulatory and equipment documentation that impacts on work activities.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
