Title: Construct a grounding subsystem for a telecommunications system.
Course: Telecommunications II (10006-II) > Section: Practicing Cabling and Splicing

Construction should include

- identification of standards and codes applicable to providing a system ground
- identification of wire, connectors, and components to be used in establishing system ground
- selection of tools needed to construct system ground
- installation of connectors used on grounding conductors
- interconnection of grounding conductors and components to form the grounding subsystem.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What documents govern the installation of the grounding subsystem in a structured cable system?
- What is the importance of installing a proper grounding subsystem?
- Why does the National Electrical Code (NEC) dedicate an entire chapter to grounding?
- Where would you find guidance for component selection for a grounding subsystem?
