An Open Registration will enable a student to complete any task in relation to Telecommunications cabling.
Prior to the Open Registration if a cabler wished to install specialist Telecommunications cabling additional Endorsement courses would have been required, these endorsements included
Structured Cabling Systems (SCS)
- Optical Fiber
- Co-Axial Cabling
- Aerial Cabling
- Underground Cabling
Under the requirements for Open Registration these endorsements are now voluntary. This effectively means that a cabler holding an Open Registration can legally install the above specialist cable types without gaining Endorsements on their Registration.
It must be noted however that even though a cabler may be legally allowed to install these specialist cables, holding an Open Registration does not make that cabler competent to install these cables correctly.
For this reason most reputable cabling companies will request cablers to have voluntary endorsements as part of their Registration.
For High speed Data transmission the most common endorsements are
- Structured Cabling Systems (SCS)
- Optical Fiber
