Open Cabler Registration

Completion of this training, along with relevant experience, qualifies the student for ACMA Open Cabler Registration (previously known as ACA Open Registration or Austel Licence). Open Cabler Registration enables you to legally install and maintain telephone, data, security* and fire alarm cabling in all types of customers premises.

At the end of Open Cabler Registration the student will be able to:

•    Describe and interpret the requirements of the ACA AS/ACIF S009 Wiring Rules.
•    Be able to describe and design additions to a telephone cabling system.
•    Correctly install and terminate telecommunications cable for a backbone and facility cabling system including a full cabling polarity and continuity test.

•    Conduct an Earthing system series resistance and insulation resistance test.
•    Understand the features offered by a small business telephone system or CSS.
•    Detail the requirements of the ACA Cabling Provider Rules.

Pre-requisites:

• Recognised OH&S training relevant to building cabling activities. Examples include State WorkCover/WorkSafe issued OH&S construction induction cards; OH&S subjects studied at TAFE as part of building or electrical trades.
• Students should have prior relevant building cabling experience, including the use of hand and power tools.
• Students should have a knowledge of basic DC principles. A free tutorial is available here.

You are able to attend the course without meeting the pre-requisites, but will be issued with a Letter of Attendance rather than a Certificate.
