Ensure Shielded Category 6A Integrity
The general best practices below highlight the grounding/bonding elements within
a single telecommunications room. You can download an expanded list of grounding
best practices from Leviton (
). Refer to the TIA-607-C standard for additional
elements required for a larger Telecommunications Grounding System.
• Follow standards-compliant methodology to install and verify an effective
telecommunications grounding system
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to properly install shielded connectors,
cables, patch cords, and patch panels
• Finally, install individual #6 AWG Unit Bonding Conductors (UBC) between each
Shielded Patch Panel and the rack or cabinet bonding element. While #12 AWG
UBCs are the minimum called out by grounding and bonding standards, #6 AWG
is the industry best practice.
