Premise Wiring Systems Specialized Installer

LEVEL 13 DAY COURSE +16 hours of online instruction
LEVEL 1

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Showcase your cutting-edge technical skills, and receive your professional ETA certification as a Premise Wiring Systems Installer!

The Premise Wiring Systems Installer training is designed for those who design, install or maintain copper and fiber optic systems in commercial buildings and outer facilities. It identifies you as an inside plant installer who demonstrates a practical knowledge of the copper and fiber optic theories, codes, standards and practices widely accepted in commercial buildings and customer-owned outside plants (campus environments).

In addition, this inside plant training incorporates hands-on training of copper and fiber terminations, cable preparations, installation practices and certification testing procedures. Students will learn skills applicable to all of the functions required to safely and competently install advanced copper and fiber communications cabling. All procedures and practices are based on the latest EIA/TIA commercial building cabling standards.

Objectives

As the follow-up course to Premise Wiring Systems Fundamentals (TR-PWSF) this course will give students a much deeper understanding of how to assemble, wire, and test various commercial building cabling systems.

This course will allow students to:

  • Understand the EIA/TIA standards for advanced inside plant copper cabling systems
  • Understand the EIA/TIA commercial building cabling standards as they pertain to advanced fiber and copper cabling systems
  • Understand advance copper and fiber testing procedures
  • Understand distance limitations and performance issues and how to test these measurable properties pertaining to copper and fiber media
  • Demonstrate basic skills needed to assemble, wire, and test various commercial building and inside plant cabling systems including advanced laser optimized fiber optic cabling systems

Labs

In addition to the labs performed in the Certified Fiber Optic Installer course, students will also perform the following industry-specific labs:

Lab 1 Splice-on Connector Installation (TL-03C)

  1. To understand how to adapt a fusion splicer for a generic splice-on connector.
  2. To demonstrate the ability to adapt fiber strip measurements to any fusion splicer.
  3. To perform a visual inspection when completed and properly test to TIA Tier 1 standard.

Lab 2 Wall-mount Segment Assembly (Pigtails) (TL-12A)

  1. Properly prepare a 12F distribution style cable for installation to wall Mount enclosures.
  2. Properly perform one of the most basic Splicers’ tasks, fusion splicing of “Pigtails”.
  3. Demonstrate the proper way to strip, clean, cleave, and fusion splice 900μm fiber.
  4. Properly wrap (form & dress) the fused fibers back into the splice holders.
  5. Test the completed assembly to TIA Tier 1 standard.

Lab 3 Identify Horizontal Link Components (TL-30A)

  1. The student will learn about the TIA 568 infrastructure within Telecommunication Rooms (TR), which is a floor serving space.
  2. The student will learn to identify the various cables, wiring components, electronics and switches that are contained within the TR.

Lab 4 8P8C Category5e/6 Modular Plugs (TL-31B)

  1. The student will learn to properly ring and strip a Category rated cable jacket.
  2. The student will learn to form and dress cable pairs for Category rated 8P8C Plug.
  3. The student will learn to perform the basic test parameters.
  4. The student will learn to test in accordance with the TIA-568 performance requirements.

Lab 5 66-Block Termination (Data) (TL-32A)

  1. The student will learn the technique for terminating a 5E 66 block to ensure category 5E performance (data).
  2. The student will learn the importance of forming and dressing a 5E 66 block to achieve the performance standards.
  3. The student will learn testing parameters associated with category-rated performance.

Lab 6 Category 5E/6 (110) 8P8CJack (TL-32D)

  1. The student will learn to properly ring and strip a Category rated cable jacket.
  2. The student will learn to properly terminate a Category rated jack.
  3. The student will learn to perform the basic test parameters.
  4. The student will learn to test the links in accordance with the TIA-568 performance requirements.

Prerequisites: None
