Telephone Home Wiring teaches technicians how to correctly install and troubleshoot the hardware associated with an in-home telephone system. This hardware includes various twisted-pair transport media, interface devices and termination points. The technician is introduced to inside wiring topologies, cable and connector configurations, Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance (TIA/EIA) standards and twisted-pair test equipment. Additionally, extensive troubleshooting of twisted-pair wiring is presented to ensure the technician is able to solve telephony related issues within the premises.

Completion Time:

The estimated completion time for this course is 8 hours. The maximum allotted time is four months from enrollment.

Benefits:

  • be better prepared to troubleshoot twisted-pair wiring issues in the home
  • reduce repeat service calls and improve customer satisfaction
  • use this course to help prepare for SCTE’s Broadband Premises Installer certification
  • receive an industry-recognized NCTI certificate of graduation
  • receive credit toward NCTI Telecom Specialist certification

Upon completing this course, students will be able to:

  1. describe untwisted-pair and twisted-pair telephone wire, their applications and their color code
  2. explain the purpose and applications of the American National Standards Institute
  3. (ANSI)/TIA/EIA-570B Residential Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard
  4. install modular plugs/jacks on inside wiring data cables using ANSI/TIA/EIAT568-A and T568-B wiring configurations
  5. identify the characteristics of shorts and crosses, and open circuits within a twisted-pair inside wiring system
  6. describe three types of twisted-pair inside wiring errors
  7. describe wiring topologies commonly used for twisted-pair inside wiring
  8. use a tone generator and an inductive amplifier probe to perform a telephone line test/polarity test and identify twisted-pair conductors
  9. use a twisted-pair cable tester to test circuit faults on twisted-pair cable utilizing one of three different wiring configurations and interpret test results
