description
Cable TV installation technicians work for the largest sector of the telecommunications industry, cable telecommunications. The content of cable TV channels is only accessible through a network of wires and cables. Cable TV installers configure cable TV lines so that subscribers can access this content. In the past, copper cables were the most common means of transmitting this content, but now many companies use 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 optical cable testing, troubleshooting, splicing, and termination.
