Communications Grounding
For systems using an embedded transponder, the grounding connection is typically made either through a separate chassis ground
block bonded to the enclosure or by means of the internal mounting hardware which bonds the transponder through the CableUPS.
Please refer to the appropriate communications product manual for installation procedures.
For communication cables, Alpha strongly recommends the use of a surge arresting device electrically bonded to the Alpha Enclosure.
Grounding and Earth Connection Notes, continued
Low impedance grounding is mandatory for personnel safety and critical for the proper
operation of the cable system .
