Coaxial Cable Grounding Kit by Cambium Networks — Coax Cbl Grd. Kits for

The Cambium Networks Coaxial Cable Grounding Kit provides a grounded connection for coaxial feeder lines used in outdoor RF installations. Designed to be installed on coax runs feeding antennas and base stations, the kit helps divert lightning-induced surges and electrostatic charges away from sensitive equipment, reducing the risk of damage and improving overall system safety. The product supports common coax grounding practices and is intended for use where a dedicated, weather-resistant grounding solution is required.

Advantages

The grounding kit offers a field-proven method to create a low-impedance path to earth for coaxial feeders, helping to mitigate transient voltages and electrostatic buildup. Its components are selected to withstand outdoor conditions and provide a reliable mechanical and electrical connection between the coax shield and the grounding conductor. Installation reduces the likelihood of equipment downtime caused by lightning or surge events and supports compliance with site grounding best practices.

Suitable for

• Grounding outdoor antenna feeder cables
• Protecting base station coax runs from surges and lightning
• RF installations requiring an external grounding interface
• Telecommunications and wireless network sites with outdoor cabling

Key specifications

• Application: Grounding for coaxial feeder lines in outdoor RF systems
• Environment: Designed for outdoor use and exposure to typical weather conditions
• Function: Provides electrical connection between coax shield and grounding conductor to divert surges to earth
• Compatibility: Intended for use with standard coaxial feeder cables used in antenna and base station installations
• Mechanical: Designed to provide a secure mechanical clamp and electrical contact to the coax shield

How to use

Install the grounding kit on the coaxial feeder near the entry point to the equipment or at the tower mounting point following the site grounding plan. Prepare the coax by exposing the shield according to the kit instructions, attach the kit to the cable so it clamps solidly to the braid or outer conductor, and route the included grounding conductor to a suitable earth ground or grounding bus. Ensure all connections are tightened to the specified torque and that the grounding conductor is continuous and as short as practicable to minimize impedance.

Usage recommendations

Position grounding points at recommended separation distances along long coax runs, bond the grounding conductor to the site grounding system, and inspect connections periodically for corrosion or loosening. Use appropriately sized grounding conductors and follow local electrical and telecommunications grounding standards when installing the kit.
