Telecommunications Bonding

• Increases reliability by minimizing the risk to network equipment

and interconnecting cabling from electrical hazards

• Facilitates communications by improving immunity from

electromagnetic interference (EMI)

• Complete solution available, designed for  exibility and ease of

installation with virtually any racks or cabinets

*One ESD wrist strap port can be used effectively for up to three open-faced racks, however it is recommended to use one port for

each enclosed cabinet because the doors may interfere.

Five Steps to Bonding Data Centers and Telecommunications Spaces

Part Number Part Description Quantity Required

RGESD2-1

ESD wrist strap docking port kit for threaded rail racks and cabinets (#12-24 and M6). 1 per rack with

active equipment*

RGESD2B-1

ESD wrist strap docking port kit for cage nut rail racks and cabinets. 1 per rack with

active equipment*

RGESDWS

Wrist strap with 6' (2M) coil cord. 1 per ESD wrist strap

docking port kit*

Step 1. Protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD)

Part Number Part Description Quantity Required

For equipment with a grounding pad (e.g. core switch es), use an equipment jumper to bond the equipment to the rack

or busbar.

RGEJ657PFY

Equipment jumper kit (also known as a Unit Bonding Conductor); 57" (1.4M);

#6 AWG (16mm

) jumper; pre-terminated on one end.

1 per piece

of equipment

CNBK

Bonding cage nut for cage nut rail racks and cabinets. 1 per piece

of equipment

For equipment that bonds through its mounting ﬂ anges (no grounding pad) (e.g. top of rack switches), use bonding

hardware to connect the equipment to the rack.

RGTBSG-C

Bonding screw for threaded rail racks. 1 per piece

of equipment

CNBK

Bonding cage nut for cage nut rail racks and cabinets. 1 per piece

of equipment

Step 2. Bond the equipment to the rack or cabinet

Part Number Part Description Quantity Required

RGRB19Y

Busbar for threaded rail racks and cabinets; provided with thread-forming screws. 1 per rack

RGRB19CN

Busbar for cage nut rail racks and cabinets; provided with bonding studs for cage

nut applications.

1 per rack

Step 3. Ensure the rack or cabinet is electrically continuous

Use a busbar to bond the vertical equipment mounting rails together to create continuity in racks/cabinets. A busbar can also be used to

bond multiple equipment jumper kits to a single rack unit (RU).

All Panduit racks and cabinets are designed to be electrically continuous, so they do not require a busbar bonded to the rails.
