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.
The conductor consists of a 10 AWG (#25) (2.5 mm
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.
The 10 AWG (#25) (2.5 mm
rear of the system cabinets, follow these cables to the MDF, and to terminate at the CBC.
