Install Coupled Bonding Conductor

The Coupled Bonding Conductor (CBC) provides for mutual inductance coupling
between the CBC and the telephone cables that are exposed to lightning. The
conductor can be a 10 AWG (#25) (6 mm
cables, a metal cable shield around the exposed cables, or 6 spare pairs from
the exposed cable.
In a high rise building, connect the CBC to an approved building ground on each
floor. To provide the coupled bonding protection:
1. Connect 1 end of the conductor to a telephone cable building entrance
protector ground that is connected to an approved ground.
2. Route the rest of the conductor next to the exposed telephone cables
being protected until they reach the cross-connect nearest to the
telephone system.
3. Position the non-exposed telephone cables at least 12 inches (30.5 cm)
away from exposed telephone cables whenever possible.
4. Terminate the other end to the single-point ground block provided for the
telephone system.
