Summary
Specialized construction worker who lays and connects telecommunications cables inside buildings and performs connection tests with equipment.
Description
Indoor telecom cable wiring workers wire telecommunications cables such as telephone lines, LAN cables, and coaxial cables inside buildings like office buildings and residences, connect them to modular jacks and patch panels, and conduct continuity and performance tests using cable testers. They install cable ducts and conduits based on drawings and wiring diagrams, performing construction with consideration for safety and aesthetics.
