Run wiring to connect equipment.

Run wiring to connect equipment. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 5 occupations and seen in 5 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Connect components or supply lines to equipment or tools. in Handling and Moving Objects .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 5 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 0 (0%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• String wire conductors and cables between poles, towers, trenches, pylons, and buildings, setting lines in place and using winches to adjust tension. · Electrical Power-Line Installers and Repairers · importance 4.4 · no direct exposure
• Run wires between components and to outside cable systems, connecting them to wires from telephone poles or underground cable accesses. · Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers, Except Line Installers · importance 4.2 · no direct exposure
• Mount raceways and conduits and fasten wires to wood framing, using staplers. · Security and Fire Alarm Systems Installers · importance 4.0 · no direct exposure
• Run low voltage wiring on ceiling surfaces, using insulated staples. · Mechanical Door Repairers · importance 3.6 · no direct exposure
• Patch or wire lights to dimmers or other electronic consoles. · Lighting Technicians · no direct exposure
