Cable TV Installation
Technician Career Information
Job Description
Cable TV installation
technicians work for the largest sector of the telecommunications industry,
which is wired telecommunications. The content on cable TV channels can only be
accessed through a network of wires and cables. Cable TV installation
technicians set up cable TV lines so that subscribers may gain access to this
content. In the past, copper wires were the most common means to transmit this
content, but many companies are now using glass or plastic fiber optic cables.
Fiber optic cables use light instead of electricity to transmit information and
allow for faster transmission times. Those who work with fiber optic cables
need specialized training in testing, troubleshooting, splicing and terminating
optical cables.
