nbn authorises registered cablers to alter carrier facilities in premises

nbn has issued a document that authorises registered cablers to move, remove or alter certain nbn-owned copper network cabling and assets in residential and small business premises.

The document, entitled ‘Authority to alter facilities in residential and small business premises’, defines the type of work and the areas of the network that can be altered to provide a service to end users.

The document applies to premises and local areas of the network where nbn copper pairs typically terminate at a Telecommunications Outlet (TO) or Network Terminal Device (NTD).

Cablers working in residential and small business premises may need to alter nbn’s lead-in cabling and network boundary facilities to satisfy customer requirements.

nbn said it authorises Registered Cablers to make limited alterations to nbn facilities in or on the building as long as the work is carried out to nbn’s requirements.
