Information network cabling is the designing, installing, testing and maintenance of telecommunications networks, such as computers, television cable networks and telephones.
An information network cabling professional is required to design, execute and test cabling such as optical fibre and local area network interfaces.
The ability to connect cables together is a highly skilled job that can involve welding or cable termination in panels and boxes.
Professionals also need to understand schematics, specifications and instructional drawings if not designing their own system.
Installing the architecture of voice, video and data systems usually takes place in industrial and commercial properties.
However, schools, hospitals and universities are also dependant upon successful information network cabling.
