Grounding the Media Converter

The CPSMC0100-210 single-slot chassis comes equipped with grounding lugs
located on the back panel.  They require a grounding conductor wire
terminated with a two-hole, compression-type, grounding connector.  The
grounding wire -- which must be a copper conductor -- is not included with
the chassis and must be provided by the customer/installer.   

The electrical conducting path from the single-slot chassis must:

Flow via the grounding lugs to the common bonding network (CBN) for
telecom installations, or to an alternative approved grounding system

(if

required)

for non-telecom installations.

Be of sufficiently low impedance to conduct fault currents likely to be
imposed on the media converter, and 

Enable proper operation of any over-current protection devices.  

The conductor must be fastened to the grounding lugs with the enclosed anti-
rotation star-washers and lug-nut fasteners.  The applied torque required to the
connector lug-nut fasteners is specified by the connector’s manufacturer.  

To properly ground the CPSMC0100-210 single-slot chassis:

1.

Obtain one (1) grounding conductor 

(12 AWG copper wire gauge or

larger)

with a two-hole, compression-type, grounding connector.   

2.

Attach the grounding conductor to the converter by placing the two-hole
connector onto the grounding lugs and fasten with the enclosed lock-
washers / lug-nuts at the proper torque (per the manufacturer’s
specification).

3.

Attach the opposite end of the
grounding conductor to the
common bonding network
(CBN) for telecom, or to earth
ground (if required) for non-
telecom installations.
