Reliable work by registered cablers
Any cabling that connects to the telecommunications network must be performed or supervised by a registered cabler. CoreComms' customer cabling work is performed or supervised by Ethan Goliath — TITAB Open Cabling Registration T47386, with Structured Cabling, Optical Fibre and Coaxial competencies — covering residential, small business and light-commercial cabling across South East Queensland.
Common reasons customers call
- New data or phone points
- NBN-related internal cabling
- Coaxial or fibre cabling
- Fault finding on existing cabling
- Cabling required for renovations or a new build
CoreComms provides registered telecommunications cabling services. Registration is held by the individual cabler (Ethan Goliath, TITAB T47386) under the ACMA cabling registration framework, not by CoreComms as a company. We are not licensed electricians and do not perform electrical work.

What this service is
In Australia, any cabling that connects to the telecommunications network must be installed by a registered cabler. That covers most internal phone, data, NBN, fibre and coaxial cabling in homes and businesses. CoreComms technicians hold current registration and complete work to the applicable wiring rules.
Problems it solves
- A tradie or handyman has quoted for cabling work they're not permitted to do
- A new build or renovation needs the telecommunications cabling done properly the first time
- Existing cabling has been altered and you need it checked or tidied up
- A landlord, builder or insurer has asked for the cabling to be done by a registered cabler
What you need to know before you book
Why registration matters for telecommunications cabling
In Australia, cabling that connects to the telecommunications network must be installed by a registered cabler. That covers far more than most people expect: internal phone cabling, data outlets connected to network equipment, NBN lead-ins on the customer side, fibre and much of the coaxial cabling in a home or business. It is not the same as an electrical licence, and a general handyman or a data-savvy IT technician is not automatically permitted to do it.
The reason is safety and network integrity. Telecommunications cabling shares walls, ceilings and sometimes conduits with mains power. Poorly separated or incorrectly terminated cabling can create a shock risk, damage connected equipment or inject noise into the carrier network affecting neighbouring services.
What a compliant installation looks like
A compliant job is more than working outlets. Separation from mains power is maintained, cables are supported and protected where they pass through structure, terminations are consistent, and the customer receives the appropriate documentation for the work performed. On commercial handovers, that documentation is often what a builder, insurer or incoming tenant asks for.
It also matters when you sell or lease. Non-compliant DIY cabling discovered during a fit-out or building inspection typically has to be remediated before other trades can sign off, and remediation is almost always more expensive than doing it correctly the first time.
- Separation maintained between telecommunications and electrical cabling
- Correct cable type for the environment — internal, external or underground
- Consistent, tested terminations at every outlet
- Labelling and documentation appropriate to the job
- Remediation of unsafe or non-compliant existing work where found
How to check the person quoting your job
Ask directly whether the work will be performed or supervised by a registered cabler, and ask which classes of registration apply — open, restricted, lift, fibre and coaxial endorsements cover different work. A contractor who does this daily will answer without hesitation. If a quote is dramatically cheaper than others, it is worth asking what has been left out: testing, labelling, correct cable type and proper reinstatement are the usual omissions.
CoreComms technicians hold current registration for the classes of work they perform, and we are happy to confirm scope in writing before you commit to anything.

Frequently asked questions
Does an electrician count as a registered cabler?+
Not automatically. Registration for telecommunications customer cabling is separate from an electrical licence, although many electricians also hold it. Always confirm registration specifically for the cabling work being quoted.
Can I install my own data points at home?+
Cabling that connects to the telecommunications network must be installed by a registered cabler. Plugging a patch lead into an existing outlet is fine; terminating new fixed cabling is not.
What happens if existing cabling in my property isn't compliant?+
We will show you what we have found, explain the risk and quote the remediation separately so you can decide. We do not extend work off an installation we believe is unsafe.
Do you provide documentation for builders or handovers?+
Yes. For commercial and new-build work we can provide labelling schedules and test results appropriate to the class of work for handover packs.
