specifications
Structured rack grounding kits shall be TIA-942 compliant, listed
for their purpose with a nationally recognized testing laboratory,
and RoHS compliant. Grounding strip and connectors shall be tin
plated. Grounding strip shall comply with EIA universal mounting
hole spacing and mount to standard 19 inch and 23 inch racks. All
components shall be bonded to the rails with paint piercing
hardware. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) ports shall be mounted to
the front and back of the rack. Equipment shall be bonded to the
grounding strip with a discrete jumper and two-hole long barrel
compression lugs. There shall be a #6 AWG copper code discrete
jumper that terminates on the mesh common bonding network
(MCBN) with a compression HTAP and attaches to the grounding
strip using a two-hole, long barrel compression lug. The
compression lugs shall meet NEBS Level 3 Criteria and have
inspection windows. All jumpers shall have green-and-yellow
VW-1 rated insulation. Where rack sections bolt together, paint
piercing grounding washers shall be used on both sides, under the
head of the bolt and between the nut and the rack.

applications
Because data center racks are typically painted
and bolted together, electrical continuity
throughout the rack is not assured.

Grounding System Kits
provide a modular solution for properly grounding
racks. Paint-piercing grounding washers are
available to provide continuity between frame
members. Thread-forming screws are supplied
with the rack grounding kits to provide a bond
between the grounding strip and the rack by
removing paint from thread holes and minimizing
metal shavings. The grounding strip can be
connected to the raised floor or overhead system
ground using the common bonding network (CBN)
jumper. Network equipment is bonded to the
grounding strip using available equipment jumpers
and paint piercing hardware.
