| 9.1.3 | Network installation teams

One of the most efficient methods for working with a network installation team is to break the team into smaller groups consisting of one or more people. As a student, you might occasionally alternate/switch jobs with the other members of your installation team so that everyone in your team will have the opportunity to perform a variety of tasks. This is one way that you can develop the required networking installation skills, and at the same time learn how to work with others as a team member.

The following list describes some of the tasks that may be assigned to the small teams:

- project manager - responsibilities include:
  - implementing safety procedures
  - ensuring the documentation of materials and activities
  - keeping other team members focused on their tasks
  - communicating with the instructor
- materials and tools manager - responsible for tool kits, cable, connector, and testers
- cable runner - responsible for planning and running cable safely and according to specifications, as well as for testing the cable run
- jack and patch panel terminator - responsible for performing quality punch downs and for installing and testing jack installations
