Home / Fiber Optic Cable Grounding Wire for Distribution Box
26 mm 2 (10 AWG) ground wire must be used, and in all other markets a 6 mm 2 must be used. Grounding of the units:This Applications Engineering Note (AE Note) discusses conventional bonding and grounding practices for conductive fiber optic cable and hardware installations within the scope of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Fiber optic cable transmits data as light through glass or plastic strands, which means the fiber core itself carries no electrical current and requires no grounding. The current language regarding optical fiber cabling grounding found in the NFPA 70 NEC 2014 is as follows: " 770. 93 Grounding or Interruption of Non–Current-Carrying Metallic Members of Optical Fiber Cables.
