Grounding and Bonding Requirements For Telecommunications

EIA/TIA-607 outlines grounding and bonding requirements for telecommunications systems to ensure reliable installations. It emphasizes the importance of the Telecommunications Grounding Busbar (TGB) as a central connection point for equipment and systems within telecommunications closets. The standard facilitates planning and design of grounding systems, supporting a multivendor environment and ensuring compatibility with existing telecommunications infrastructure.

GROUNDING AND BONDING REQUIREMENTS FOR


TELECOMMUNICATIONS

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 General
1.1.2 The grounding and bonding approach recommended in this Standard is
intended to work in concert with the cabling topology as specified in
ANSI/EIA/TIA-568 (telecommunications wiring standard) and installed
in accordance with ANSI/EIA/TIA-569 (telecommunications pathways
and spaces standard). The requirements specified in this Standard, in
conjunction with a basic understanding of the grounding concepts, will
aid the user in achieving a reliable grounding solution when applied to
specific telecommunications installations.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this Standard is to enable the planning, design, and installation of
telecommunications grounding systems within a building with or without prior
knowledge of the telecommunication systems that will subsequently be installed. This
telecommunications grounding and bonding infrastructure supports a multivendor,
multiproduct environment as well as the grounding practices for various systems that may
be installed on customer premises.

5 COMPONENTS OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS GROUNDING AND


BONDING INFRASTRUCTURE

5.5 The telecommunications grounding busbar (TGB)


The Telecommunications Grounding Busbar (TGB) is the common central point of
connection for telecommunications systems and equipment in the location served by that
telecommunications closet or equipment room.

The TGB specification shall be Newton part FIG. 3058, insulated ground bar - TC
1/4" x 4" x 10".

5.5.2.3 Where a panelboard for telecommunications is located


within the same room or space as the TGB, that panelboard's
ACEG bus (when equipped) or the enclosure shall be bonded to
the TGB.
7 TELECOMMUNICATIONS CLOSET AND EQUIPMENT ROOM

7.1 General
Each telecommunications closet and equipment room shall contain a TGB. The TGB
shall be located inside the closet/room and be insulated from its support; a 50 mm (2
inch) separation is recommended. The TGB shall be located so as to provide the greatest
flexibility and accessibility for telecommunications system grounding (minimizing
lengths and number of bends of the bonding conductor to the TGB, but within constraints
of Clause 5).

The placement of the AC panel board and telecommunications grounding busbar


(TGB) shall be coordinated with room layout to affect the most workable location.
