Product Usage Instructions

Application & Design Considerations
The trueCABLE Ethernet Patch Panel Bond & Ground Extension Adapter is designed for use with the Shielded Patch Panel. It replaces the stock ground wire and eliminates the need for a formal bonding and grounding infrastructure in small business or residential environments. This adapter is essential when shielded cable must be used, but the only path to ground is via the AC ground system using an AC outlet. It is safe to use as the hot and neutral prongs are made of metal for durability but do not conduct electricity. Only the third ground prong is connected to the green conductor wire. Note: A properly wired and up-to-code 3-prong AC outlet is required for proper operation. Always check your AC outlets with a tester prior to use!

Application & Design Considerations

The trueCABLE Ethernet Patch Panel Bond & Ground Extension Adapter is specifically designed for use with our Shielded Patch Panel, as a replacement for the stock ground wire. Use of this adapter negates the need for a formal bonding and grounding infrastructure such as seen in larger business environments. Specifically, this adapter is essential in small business or residential environments where the shielded cable must be used, but the only path to ground is via the AC ground system using an AC outlet. Safe to use, the hot and neutral prongs are metal for durability but do not conduct electricity. Only the 3rd “ground” prong is hooked up to the green conductor wire. A properly wired and up-to-code 3-prong AC outlet is required for proper operation. Always check your AC outlets with a tester prior to use!
