They work on both residential and commercial sites, ensuring that the cabling infrastructure is set up properly and meets industry safety standards. A Cable Installer may also test and troubleshoot the installed systems, perform routine system maintenance, and educate clients on how to use the cable-related equipment. They must be knowledgeable about the various tools and equipment used in the installation process and have a good understanding of national and local cabling standards and regulations.

A high school diploma is typically required, and many employers prefer candidates with a vocational certificate or associate's degree in electronics or a related field. Cable Installers also need to obtain certain certifications, such as the Electronics Technicians Association (ETA) certification or the Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI) certification, to demonstrate their proficiency. Prior job roles a person may have before becoming a Cable Installer include Electrician's Helper, Maintenance Technician, or Telecommunications Technician.
