Install Coupled Bonding Conductor
The ‘‘Coupled Bonding Conductor’’ on page 192
(CBC) connects to the single-point ground
block and runs adjacent to pairs in an associated telecommunications cable. The mutual
coupling between the bonding conductor and the pairs reduces potential differences in
terminating equipment.
1 Cut a 10 AWG (#25) (2.5 mm
2
) wire long enough to reach from the S8700
Multi-Connect configuration’s single-point ground block or DC power media gateway
Ground Discharge Bar to the MDF CBC block.
2 Connect one end of the 10 AWG (#25) (2.5 mm
2
) wire to the single-point ground block
(or Ground Discharge Bar).
3 Route the wire next to the 25-pair cables connecting to the trunk/auxiliary (purple) field.
4 Tie wrap the 10 AWG (#25) (2.5 mm
2
) wire to the 25-pair cables.
5 Connect the 10 AWG (#25) (2.5 mm
2
) wire to the MDF CBC ground block.
6 Repeat the above steps for each CBC ground wire installed.
