List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for installation | 1.1 Obtain relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards for the job 1.2 Obtain project plan to scope work and then obtain approval from client on key features of installation 1.3 Arrange for site access to comply with landholder, government and statutory body regulations 1.4 Inspect site to develop work health and safety (WHS) plan and notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards 1.5 Determine cable route and type of network cable equipment from project plan, taking into account the location of other services 1.6 Obtain required plant, tools, safety equipment and materials for cabinet entry 1.7 Coordinate with other parties to minimise disruption to services and down time 1.8 Segregate incoming and outgoing cables to facilitate access and avoid overlaying and backtracking of cable 1.9 Notify stakeholders of proposed cutover details and proposed disruption to services 1.10 Undertake additional preparatory non-jointing work, as required, according to client practices and site conditions |
2. Install required cable and termination modules | 2.1 Follow WHS and environmental requirements for given work 2.2 Evaluate existing termination module type and capacity 2.3 Install additional termination modules, if required, and modify existing housing capacity according to manufacturer’s specifications and industry practice 2.4 Determine cable route between the parent jointing chamber and the cable termination blocks to comply with client practices, site limitations, equipment specifications and regulations 2.5 Select entry port and sealing arrangements 2.6 Install cable to cabinet 2.7 Arrange and distribute cable fan out and routing according to industry practice |
3. Joint, jumpering and cutover cable | 3.1 Joint cable according to jointing standards, materials, joint type, location, client practices and manufacturer’s guidelines 3.2 Install jumpers and cut away tails to industry practice and to minimise service outages 3.3 Test cable for performance and rectify any faults relating to cutover according to location, materials available and industry practice 3.4 Seal all joints and cabinet according to cable type, location, client practices and manufacturer’s guidelines |
4. Perform tests | 4.1 Visually check that all connections and interconnections are firm and sound 4.2 Electrically test all terminations for continuity according to client practices 4.3 Reseal and pressurise cables |
5. Complete site restoration and project documentation | 5.1 Supply test results to the client for future reference 5.2 Complete cut over report and design amendments report (As Built) to show final cable layout 5.3 Recover obsolete materials and return to appropriate point for disposal 5.4 Restore siteaccording to client practices or approving authority requirements 5.5 Notify appropriate personnel about completion of cutover and obtain sign off |
Evidence of the ability to:
interpret project plan to determine cable route, required plant, tools, safety equipment and materials
communicate with other stakeholders to arrange site access and safety requirements
prepare cabinet and cable for cable entry according to client practices
install cable, label and fan out for termination
install termination modules
coordinate with other parties to minimise service outages
terminate pairs to termination modules following client practices
run jumpers and cutover services with minimum outages
conduct tests and rectify faults caused by cutover
recover obsolete materials and restore site
complete required documentation related to cut over
comply with all related health and safety requirements.
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:
list and describe cabling types, connectors and cabling structures
outline the requirements of the legislation, codes of practice and other formal agreements that impact on the work activity
describe the manufacturer’s requirements for the operation of jointing equipment
summarise the process for the cut over of a cabinet entry cable
specify the health and safety requirements relating to the activity and site conditions
describe the features and operating conditions of test equipment and how the equipment is used to measure cable performance
identify typical issues and challenges that may cause delays in project construction activities, and how these could be addressed
describe the purpose of warranties and service level agreements (SLAs).
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and are or replicate the workplace. Traffic and pedestrian control, 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 used for cut over
installation equipment currently used in industry
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.
