GKIT-60-5878
Standard Grounding Kit, Copper Strap, 60" (1.5m) Lead, for 5/8'' & 7/8" Coax Cables and 10 TO 15GHz Elliptical Waveguides
Rev : A | Rev date : 07 Feb 2025
This GKIT series standard grounding kit features a versatile copper strap design that accommodates multiple waveguide sizes, eliminating the need for size-specific kits and simplifying inventory management. In addition to elliptical waveguides, it is also compatible with coaxial cables, offering greater flexibility. Built to meet industry standards, the kit ensures reliable grounding, bonding, and shielding while withstanding extreme environmental conditions such as moisture, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations. Designed for reliability, this 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.
