Electricity II provides instruction in the wiring methods of commercial construction and communications cabling, including telephone wiring, cable television wiring, BICSI/RBT Systems Copper based Network Cabling and Fiber Optic Network Cabling. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSTIA) Construction is also offered. Seniors may be eligible for a work-study program in the electrical supplies’ distribution field. The commercial wiring is taught to the standards of the National Electrical Code. The network cabling is taught to the BICSI/RBT Systems standard and meets the TIA/EIA 568A standard. Students will study communications wiring standards, wiring methods and techniques, network and cabling history and terminology. Those students who complete all network cabling instruction and meet all state, local, and instructor requirements will have an opportunity to take the exam for the BICSI/RBT certification, which is nationally recognized by the telecommunications industry.
