Part 3 Restricted Cabling Requirements

3.1 Description
Restricted cabling work is defined in section 2.3 of the Rules and, in summary, is cabling work that is performed only in relation to a customer's premises, and in which the customer cabling terminates or connects at the network boundary on a socket or network termination device. Restricted cabling work includes aerial, underground, and broadband (data and coaxial) cabling work on private property.

Typically, the restricted type of customer cabling is confined to domestic premises but it may be applicable to certain small business and commercial environments.

    3.2 Key subject matter and practical experience areas for restricted cabling work
Specified below are the subject matter and practical experience areas which a cabling provider must demonstrate basic knowledge of, or minimum competence in, to obtain a registration to perform restricted cabling work.

A cabling provider who wishes to perform restricted cabling work of a particular type must obtain the relevant competencies for that type of restricted cabling work. For example, a cabling provider who wishes to perform broadband restricted cabling work must obtain the competencies relevant to broadband restricted cabling work by completing the relevant training units.

Cabling environment:
       * Indoor environments including concealed locations such as ceilings, false ceilings, internal wall space, under floor and damp situations;
       * Outdoor environments including cable installations on external walls, underground and aerial cabling on private and public property;
       * Aerial telecommunications cabling work but does not include installations on poles shared with low voltage (LV) or high voltage (HV) electrical power cables; and
       * Underground cabling in an exclusive trench or shared trench with electrical LV cables and/or other utilities.

Cable type:
       *   Aerial
       *   Coaxial
       *   Copper twisted pair
       *   Data cables: eg. Category 5, 6, 6A
