Install Coupled Bonding Conductor
The Coupled Bonding Conductor (CBC) provides mutual inductance coupling between the
CBC and the telephone cables exposed to lightning. The conductor can be a 10 AWG (#25)
(6 square millimeters) wire tie wrapped to the exposed cables, a metal cable shield around the
exposed cables, or 6 spare pairs from the exposed cable.
For a high-rise building, connect the CBC to an approved building ground on each floor. To
provide the coupled bonding protection:
