GKIT-60-U
Universal Grounding Kit, Copper Strap, 60" (1.5m) Lead, for 3/8'' to 3'' Coax Cables and Elliptical Waveguides

Rev : C | Rev date : 07 Feb 2025

This universal grounding kit is specially designed to accommodate a broad range of transmission line sizes, including elliptical waveguides and coax cables. This helps reduce inventory costs as well as eliminating errors due to incorrectly defined line size. Sizing of the ground strap is accomplished by selecting the correct transmission line size and removing the excess material above the corresponding letter at scribed line. Designed for reliability, this universal grounding kit has been tested to comply with MIL-STD-188-124Aand to withstand an excess of 200kA. 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.
