Bonding Hardware

Use Ground Wire to create custom-length bonding jumpers to CPI Racks, Cabinets and Cable Runway to Bonding Busbars.

• Ground Wire is a #6 AWG, 133-strand, green insulated conductor with a (MTW) yellow helical stripe jacket
• Sold in a 100’ (30 m) length on a spool
• High strand count requires specific Compression Lugs

Compression Lugs connect electrical wires to copper or tinned copper conductors.

• Manufactured from electroplated tinned copper conductors
• Available individually or in bulk quantities in three styles; Two-hole, Slotted, and 90º Slotted
• Other configurations available

C-Type Compression Taps connect two copper conductors with the use of a hydraulic crimping tool.

• Available individually or in bulk packages
• Other sizes available on request
• UL Listed

The Adjustable Cable Runway Bonding Strap provides a bonding pathway between runway lengths. The Adjustable Cable Runway Bonding Straps consist of an 8”L (200 mm) #6-7 AWG stranded insulated copper conductor and are attached to a two-hole compression lug with 5/16” (8 mm) bolt holes at both ends. Bolt holes are spaced on 1” (25 mm) centers to match hole-to-hole spacing on Adjustable Cable Runway Stringers.

Cable Runway Bonding Strap Kits provide a bonding pathway between cable runway lengths when fastened together across splices. Installation requires drilling 5/16” (127 mm) holes. Bonding Straps consist of an 8”L (200 mm) #6 AWG green insulated stranded copper conductor with a helical yellow stripe attached at both ends to two-hole compression lugs with 1/4” (6.4 mm) bolt holes spaced on 5/8” (15.9 mm) centers.

• Overall length of 11” (280 mm)
• Available individually or in packs of 25
• Constructed of UL® Listed components, File E515394, Category KDER (US), KDER7 (Canada) - Bonding and Grounding Equipment
• Other configurations available on request

Kit consists of:

• (4) stainless steel cap screws, #1/4-20 x 3/4”L (19 mm)
• (4) flat washers, 1/4” (6.4 mm)
• (4) lock washers, 1/4” (6.4 mm)
• (4) nuts, 1/4” (6.4 mm)

Use the Equipment Bonding Jumper Kit with the Vertical Rack Busbar Kit to bond rack-mount equipment. The Equipment Bonding Jumper Kit includes a 24”L (710 mm) insulated green/yellow helical stripe #6 AWG bonding conductor with a Slotted Compression Lug on one end and a 90° Slotted Compression Lug on the other end. The 90° Slotted Lug attaches to the busbar, allowing easy alignment with equipment. The Slotted Compression Lug attaches to equipment. The kit includes an abrasive pad, antioxidant joint compound and two installation screws to prepare and secure the jumper to the busbar or ground bar. The installer must provide installation hardware for the lug that attaches to equipment.

• Each kit includes (1) 24”L (710 mm) insulated bonding jumper with attached lugs, (2) plated installation screws, an abrasive pad and joint compound
• The lugs are made from electroplated tinned copper and have (2) mounting holes spaced .5” to .625” apart that accept 1/4” screws
• UL Listed Components, File E236184, Category KDER (US), KDER7 (Canada) -Bonding and Grounding Equipment

Bonding Jumpers provide common bonding from equipment rack or cabinet to the Telecommunications Equipment Bonding Conductor. Can be used with CPI “L” Brackets (P/N 10001-001 or 10559-500) to attach cable run vertically along equipment rack or cabinet. Bonding jumpers are constructed of a 9’L (2.7 m) #6 AWG stranded copper conductor insulated green with a horizontal yellow stripe attached to a compression lug with two 1/4” (6.4 mm) bolt holes spaced on 5/8” (15.9 mm) centers.

Rack Bonding Jumper Kits serve as a rack bonding conductor for CPI’s Universal and Standard Racks. CPI’s Universal Racks include a location for attaching the Rack Bonding Jumper Kit inside the rack’s vertical equipment mounting channel. Order additional hardware as required to secure the other end of the jumper to the telecommunications equipment bonding conductor or directly to a telecommunications bonding busbar.

Kit consists of:

• 9’L (2.7 m) #6 AWG stranded copper conductor insulated green with a horizontal yellow stripe attached to a two-hole compression lug with 1/4” (6.35 mm) bolt holes spaced on 5/8” (15.88 mm)  centers
• 1/4-20 zinc plated serrated flange hex nuts
• 0.5 oz (14 g) packet of aluminum antioxidant joint compound
• Constructed of UL Listed components, File E236184, Category KDER (US), KDER7 (Canada) - Bonding and Grounding Equipment
• Available individually or in packages of 10

Support bonding conductors from round or square raised floor pedestals using the Pedestal Clamp with Bonding Connector. The connector provides a bonding connection for the pedestal and supports up to four bonding conductors (wires) from the pedestal. Use to create a signal reference grid under the raised access floor using #6 AWG or 2/0 bare round conductor. Select the Pedestal Clamp with Bonding Connector to match the style and size of the pedestal and size of the conductor. See the order table.

• Use Cross Connectors to create signal reference grid intersections; support up to (4) conductors, 2 per side, size #6 AWG or 2/0
• Use Straight Connectors to support the signal reference grid in-between intersections; support 1 or 2 conductors on one side of the pedestal only, size #6 AWG or 2/0
• Manufactured from electrotin plated copper or bronze (P/N 40169-003) with stainless steel installation hardware
• PNs 40169-001 and 40169-002 are UL® Listed, File E236184, Category KDER (US), KDER7 (Canada) - Bonding and Grounding Equipment 

Support bonding conductors from metal pipes of various sizes with the Pipe Clamp with Bonding Connector. The connector provides a bonding connection for the pipe and supports up to two conductors parallel or perpendicular to the pipe. Select the Pipe Clamp with Bonding Connector to match the size of the pipe.

• Attaches to pipes ranging in size from 1/2” to 6” nominal (3/8”to 6.6” outside diameters)
