1 Page 1 of 7 Title Demonstrate knowledge of telecommunications cable systems Level 4 Credits 20 Purpose This unit standard covers underpinning knowledge necessary for technicians employed in installation and maintenance of telecommunications cable systems. People credited with this unit standard are able to demonstrate knowledge of: transmission line concepts relevant to cable systems; basic concepts of modulation and multiplexing; the construction and properties of telecommunications cables; the principles and practices of typical PCM bearer systems from a cable systems perspective; the principles and practices of a typical coaxial cable distribution system from a cable systems perspective; the principles and practices of fibre optic cable systems from a cable systems perspective; and the principles and practices of a typical cable pressurisation system. Classification Telecommunications > Telecommunications - Service Delivery Available grade Achieved Guidance Information 1 References Building Act 2004; Electricity Act 1992; Electricity Safety Regulations 2010; Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and associated regulations; Local Body regulations; and all subsequent amendments and replacements. 2 Definitions AM amplitude modulation. Cable any or all of copper cable, fibre optic cable, coaxial cable. Cable systems one or more sections of cable with access terminations at each end, and all intermediate plant and equipment necessary for the successful transmission of signals. Typical intermediate plant and equipment includes joint enclosures, man holes, poles, amplifiers, regenerators, repeaters, pressurisation plant, power feeding, organisers, and terminal frames. FDM frequency division multiplexing. FM frequency modulation.

2 Page 2 of 7 Industry practice those practices, which competent practitioners within the industry recognise as current industry best practice. Outside plant that portion of the telecommunications network that generally extends from exchange switch to the point of entry at customers premises. This may include the distribution side (D side) of the main distribution frame (MDF). PCM pulse code modulation. QAM quadrature amplitude modulation. QPSK quadrature phase shift keying. Specifications any or all of: detailed job specifications, drawings, and instructions; manufacturers specifications and instructions; and industry codes of practice relating to the type of cabling system being installed. TDM time division multiplexing. 3 The phrase in accordance with industry practice is implicit in all performance criteria in this unit standard. Outcomes and performance criteria Outcome 1 Demonstrate knowledge of transmission line concepts relevant to cable systems. 1.1 Transmission parameters are defined and units stated. primary constants, decibel level, loss, psophometric noise; variation of loss with reference to frequency; characteristic impedance; bandwidth; near and far end crosstalk; bit error rate; loop resistance. 1.2 Typical application of paired, coaxial, and optical fibre cables are stated with reference to transmission loss and bandwidth. reference to primary constants, definition of transmission losses, variation of loss with frequency, characteristic impedance, reflections, termination, noise, near end and far end crosstalk. 1.3 The conditions for maximum transfer of signal power to load are explained with reference to reflections and terminating impedance. Also, the use of high and low impedance terminations are explained in terms of effects on signal measurements and the network, if wrongly used. 1.4 The principles of modifying line characteristics by means of equalisers, cable simulators, and loading coils are explained, with reference to inductance, resistance, and capacitance, and the effects on loss and bandwidth. 1.5 Loop resistance and decibel loss at a given frequency for a given cable length and type are calculated from standard cable data.
