Install a grounding card: Install a dedicated grounding card or grounding clip at the location where the optical cable enters the building or equipment box to fix the metal part of the optical cable and connect it to the grounding wire. This Applications Engineering Note (AE Note) discusses conventional bonding and grounding practices for conductive fiber optic cable and hardware installations within the scope of the National Electrical Code (NEC). During fault conditions, low impedance results in high fault current flow, causing overcurrent protective. The EGFCP helps operate devices such as circuit breakers and fuses or ground-fault detectors in ungrounded systems. Why is it so important to ensure you have proper grounding and bonding for your electrical system? First and foremost is the safety of personnel within a building.
