Install Coupled Bonding Conductor

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

Connect the Power Cords

WARNING:
The AC power cord may connect to a properly rated power distribution unit, individual
AC power receptacles, or to a UPS. A rack-mounted UPS is recommended.
To connect the power cords:
1 Ensure the circuit breakers at the AC load center are OFF.
Connect the media gateway to the UPS or to an "unswitched" or "always on" electrical
