Throwback to the exciting World Skills Singapore 2021 Information Network Cabling Challenge!
Students were putting their skills to the test by installing and testing campus distribution cabling setups involving UTP, F/UTP, multipair, and fiber optic cables. Plus, they're planning, installing, and testing multimedia cabling projects from outdoor distribution points to indoor multimedia ports. This Skillset was essential for future roles as Network Designers, IT Structured Cabling Administrators, Infrastructure Consultants, or Project Managers.
