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
tie wrapped to the exposed 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.
