Coupled Bonding Conductor

Coupled Bonding Conductor
The Coupled Bonding Conductor (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.
2
The conductor consists of a 10 AWG (#25) (2.5 mm ) wire tie-wrapped to the inside wiring
cable and terminated at the CBC terminal bar at the Main Distribution Frame (MDF). A
minimum of 12 inches (30.48 cm) spacing must be maintained between the CBC and other
power and ground leads.
2
The 10 AWG (#25) (2.5 mm ) wire must be long enough to reach the telecommunications
cables at the rear of the media gateways, follow these cables to the MDF, and to terminate at the
CBC.
