The role of the network cable installer is to install, terminate, test and certify network cable infrastructure components in accordance with national and international industry standards.

These include computers, servers, smart devices, security equipment, wireless access points, access control, building management systems and lighting systems.

More information

You will develop the knowledge and practical skills to install, terminate, test and certify network cabling systems that form the backbone of modern digital infrastructure. This includes working with both copper and fibre optic cables, interpreting technical plans, installing network equipment such as cabinets, switches and routers, and carrying out industry-standard testing and fault-finding. You’ll learn how to work safely in a range of environments, from buildings to external sites, while applying health and safety and cyber security principles.
