ARMORED FIBER OPTIC CABLE GROUNDING

How to connect the grounding wire in the fiber optic cable room

How to connect the grounding wire in the fiber optic cable room

Run a minimum 14 AWG copper grounding wire (or as specified by local code) from the bonding clamp to the nearest grounding electrode or equipment grounding bus. Keep this conductor as short and direct as possible — avoid sharp bends that increase impedance. Follow these steps at each cable entry point and termination location to achieve a compliant, safe ground bond: Identify metallic components. Strip back approximately 6–8 inches of the outer jacket using a cable slitter or ringing tool. "Safety reasons" are the explanation, and, when pressed, National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) Rule 99 is cited.
