Panduit StructuredGround 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 fl exibility and ease of installation with virtually any racks or cabinets Five Steps to Bonding Data Centers and Telecommunications Spaces Step 1. Protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD) 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* *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. Step 2. Bond the equipment to the rack or cabinet 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) 1 per piece 2 6 AWG (16mm ) jumper pre-terminated on one end. 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 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 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). 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 1 per rack nut applications. All Panduit racks and cabinets are designed to be electrically continuous, so they do not require a busbar bonded to the rails.Step 4.
