Grounding of outdoor devices

Tue Jul 26, 2016 4:34 pm

Hello all,

How would you ground (for example) a SXT LTE, where you have the GND / Earth connection, but there is no space for an 1 AWG wire to connect?

What I want to know is the correct diameter (d2 (mm)) to be used for ground cables in SXT CPE like this one.

Thanks.

I have seen that video. The question is what is the size of the ring terminal that the short ground cable uses.

Use one caliber to read the diameter of the screw,
done.

Remember to NOT use ground on this cases:
1) unshielded ethernet cable (UTP)
is useless, you must protect first the cable...

2) Device powered with galvanic separation

3) device not on pole or not on high point
