Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare cable termination
- Arrange access to the site according to required procedure
- Prepare for cable terminating work within the regulatory environment, cabling environment, cable type, cable identification, termination systems, earthing and protection, records and relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards
- Select correct termination for installation according to strategies to manage infrastructure and relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards
- Notify appropriate personnel of identified safety hazards at cabling worksite
- Identify remote power feeding services which operate at above telecommunications network voltage (TNV) inside customer premises and risks posed by contact with remote power feed
- Remove all contaminants from worksite that may adversely affect termination and prepare worksite to ensure adequate visibility to minimise errors and reduce eye strain
- Design cable and block location within frame with capacity for expansion where possible
- Segregate incoming and outgoing cables for ease of access and to minimise overlaying and backtracking of cable
- Terminate cable
- Remove cable sheath to allow for conductor length and installation requirements
- Layer out cable to manufacturer's coding system to ensure correct terminating sequence and unique identification where appropriate
- Install over-voltage protection devices to all cables with metallic component where required
- Install terminating modules to frame according to manufacturer's specifications
- Fan cable pairs neatly to termination equipment to facilitate accurate termination
- Terminate cable following occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental requirements to manufacturer's specifications using correct tool
- Earth cable shield to manufacturer's specifications and industry standards
- Test termination
- Complete records and clean up site
- Label cable pairs clearly to provide an accurate identification according to manufacturer's, industry and client standards
- Update records and plans with cabling details to provide an accurate record according to industry codes of practice and AS/ACIF S009:2006
- Complete telecommunications cabling advice (TCA) forms and notify customer
- Remove installation waste and debris from worksite and dispose of according to environmental requirements to maintain safe worksite conditions
