Unit of Competency ICTCBL313 - Modify and cutover cable
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to modify an infrastructure to cutover new cables into an existing indoor and outdoor, domestic, commercial or industrial cabling installation including communications applications in telephony, broadband, data, video, radio frequency (RF) equipment, security and computer networks, including local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and multimedia. It applies to field officers, technicians or lineman installers from carriers, contractors or other service providers who upgrade coaxial or optical fibre cables as part of a hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) network, a broadband access network or a large client private network. Work functions in the occupational areas where this unit may be used are subject to regulatory requirements. Refer to the Implementation Guide Companion Volume or the relevant regulator for specific guidance on requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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.
