Setting Up the Cabling Infrastructure
Grounding
Grounding runs excess electrical current to ground. Grounding is needed for backbone
cables, assets, pathways, and termination hardware. In NetDoc™, a busbar must be set up
prior to setting up grounding conductors. See “Adding Busbars” on page 1-114.
Adding Busbars
Busbars must be set up before you can set up conductors.
To add a busbar:
1. On the Navigation Tree, highlight the Space that contains the grounding busbar.
2. In the List View pane drop-down list, choose Grounding.
3. In the List View pane, click the Busbars radio button and then Add. The Location box in
the Detail View is populated with the space where the busbar will be set up.
4. In the Busbar ID field, enter the ID.
5. In the Busbar Type field drop-down list, choose a busbar type.
6. Click Save.
Note: TMGB (Telecommunications Main Ground Busbar) is the main busbar that goes
directly to the earth ground. The Grounding Conductor ID is the main conductor that
connects the TMGB to the ground. The TGB (Telecommunications Ground Busbar) is a
busbar that will connect to a conductor. Select it from the Busbar Type drop-down list. No
other fields appear on the tab when TGB is selected.
