The Installer/Technician installs the network of low voltage cabling that is used for video, voice, computer networks, security systems, and other low voltage signaling. Most jobs are in buildings that are partially or fully enclosed to protect from sun, wind and rain; these installations are often installed before air conditioning, heat or permanent light fixtures have been installed in the buildings. Many jobs, however, are in existing buildings or offices; and some work may be outside under varying weather conditions.

Voice and data cables are routed between the entrance facility to equipment rooms and telephone rooms. From there, smaller cables are routed between equipment rooms and individual workstations throughout the building. Equipment rooms often contain equipment such as hubs, file servers or telephone switches. These devices are configured and connected to the communications network that serves the building.

The Installer-Technician installs voice and data outlets at workstations. In addition, they install punch down blocks and cross connects in telephone rooms. These may be wall mounted or rack mounted and must be grouped and identified according to specific installation standards. Whether the work is in new construction or in existing office or manufacturing space, the IBEW-NECA craftsman takes pride in the work he or she can perform.
