Knowledge Element: Cable terminating
Definition of Knowledge Element:
Know how to terminate cables associated with an installation covered by company works.
A very brief summary of the Knowledge:
When stripping the insulation from cables before terminating, be sure that the conductors are not damaged. Some types of connector for low voltage work do not require the insulation to be removed from cables but the cable end still needs to be prepared correctly.. Make sure that you fully understand how to use the type of terminator that is to be used.
