(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 or 7
       *   External
       *   Indoor
       *   Underground.

Cable identification:
       *   Cable conductor identification codes may be colour coded, banded, numbered or lettered.

Termination systems:
       *   NTD.
       *   Socket types: Australian modular socket, Mode 3 alarm socket or United States modular.
Note   Jumperable distributors are not included in this requirement.

Earthing and protection:
Installation of protective earth for over voltage and surge/spike suppression must be treated in accordance with the Wiring Rules.

Records to be kept:
       * NTD record cards.
       * TCA1 (mandatory) and TCA2 (voluntary) forms.

   Note   Records may be in hard copy or software versions but must conform to the Wiring Rules.

Relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards:
       * The Act;
       * These Rules;
       * AS/CA S008 or its replacement;
       * The Wiring Rules;
       * Communications Cabling Manual (Restricted);
       * Certified Components List;
       * Labelling requirements for cabling products; and
       * OH&S and environmental policy and procedures.

   Note   References to a standard are to the standard as amended or replaced from time to time.

3.3 Assessment
The cabling provider should preferably be assessed within the workplace environment, but suitably simulated workplace environments such as a RTO training facility would be acceptable.

Assessment must be undertaken by approved assessors within the national AQTF training system, RTOs or assessment as specified in training packages or as determined by the ACMA.

Assessment of competency training program outcomes includes a regulatory examination and completion of actual cabling work experience which is in addition to the requirements of the AQTF system. The ACMA may also specify other requirements in the future.

A cabling provider who wishes to perform restricted cabling work of a particular type must satisfy the assessment requirements for that type of restricted cabling work. For example, a cabling provider who wishes to perform broadband restricted cabling work must demonstrate the assessment outcomes relevant to broadband restricted cabling work.

Assessment Requirements:
The following assessment outcomes must be demonstrated:
       *      complete a cabling installation and termination, including three types of telephone sockets, one network termination device; and including accurate completion of a TCA1 form (mandatory) or TCA2 (voluntary);
       *      accurately apply cable conductor identification codes;
       *      conduct and apply cable test results; and
       *      correctly interpret and apply relevant regulations and standards, and OH&S and environmental policy and procedures.

Skills and Knowledge Summary:
       *   Cable installation;
       *   Cable types;
       *   Cable termination products;
       *   These Rules;
       *   Cabling provider registration, other rules and regulations; and
