GKCLIP48-78
Grounding Kit, Pre-formed Cable Clamp, Clip-on, 48" (1.2m) Lead for 7/8" Cables

Rev : C | Rev date : 07 Feb 2025

The GKCLIP grounding kit features a unique clip design and a pre-formed, tin-plated copper cable clamp that allows for quick and secure installation. The kit easily slips over the outer conductor of coaxial cables and firmly latches into place. Its optimized latch mechanism ensures a secure fit, maximizing performance by maintaining proper contact surface area and pressure. Designed for reliability, the GKCLIP grounding kit has been tested to withstand lightning surges of up to 100,000 amps. The 6-AWG (13.2mm²) 7-strand copper wire provides an efficient, low-inductance path for safely transferring lightning-induced currents from the coaxial cable to the system ground. The kit also includes mastic and electrical tape for effective weatherproofing. For optimal protection, grounding kits should be installed at a minimum at the top and bottom of each vertical run, at regular intervals along long vertical runs, and just before building entry. As international and national regulations govern potential equalization, please ensure compliance with all applicable standards.
