Grounding of optical cable steel strand
The NEC recommends in Article 770 that non-current carrying metallic members (armor shield, metallic central member, and metallic strength member) of optical fiber cables be bonded and grounded at the point of entrance into a building or residence. Armored cables or composite/Hybrid cables consisting of any metallic part are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, traceable purpose or for power transmission which in cumulative provides extra protection for the optical fiber with added reliability for the network. Fiber optic cable transmits data as light through glass or plastic strands, which means the fiber core itself carries no electrical current and requires no grounding. However, this does not mean every fiber optic installation is exempt from grounding requirements. The critical distinction lies in. This Applications Engineering Note (AE Note) discusses conventional bonding and grounding practices for conductive fiber optic cable and hardware installations within the scope of the National Electrical Code (NEC). The steel messenger acts as a structure that supports the weight of the fiber.
