GROUNDING A DATA NETWORK RACK OVERVIEW WITHOUT A BUSBAR IN

Network rack grounding port

Network rack grounding port

It connects server rack frames, cables, and other electrical components to a low-resistance grounding system tied to the earth. Bonding (or grounding) is a system of protective measures, which is implemented to prevent electric shocks when touching metal parts of energy-powered equipment. The whole structure consists of a metal circuit, a protect bus, and a ground wire. Grounding strip shall comply with EIA niversal mounting hole spacing and mount to standard racks and cabinets.
