Unit of Competency ICTCBL320 - Jumper metallic conductor cable in the access network
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to jumper metallic conductor cable in access network cabinets or exchange distribution frames. It applies to new or existing jumpering for upgrades or network cabling rearrangements for convergence to next generation networks (NGN).It applies to linesworkers, technicians or jointers who carry out technical roles involving indoor and outdoor distribution frame jumpering. All jumpering in access network distribution cabinets must be conducted by workers who have been authorised by the network owner or carrier to undertake the work involved.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:

sites where metallic conductor cable may be terminated

colour codes for visual inspections or wire-mappers for 4 pair cable tests

regulatory and cabling documentation that impacts on cable terminating activities.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
