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.
