BUNDLED CABLES

Grounding Kit
All outdoor antenna feeder runs should be grounded
at their lowest point just prior to entering the base
station or radio enclosure. Depending on the height
of the tower run, additional ground points may be
required (see table below)
Times Microwave Systems has developed a unique,
patented grounding fixture that is both economical and
easy to install. This ground fixture effectively grounds
all the individual cables in the bundle, while requiring
only one bonding cable per fixture to be fastened to
the tower.
　

Grounding
1) The outer conductors of individual cables must
be grounded/bonded to an adequate ground.
2) All installations regardless
of tower height (TH)
should be grounded just
prior to entering the equipment
building or shelter.
The cable should also be
grounded at the tower base.
The ground at the tower
base and just prior to building
entry should be as close
to the ground plane as
possible.
3) For towers greater than
30 meters high, additional
grounding is required.
　

End Cap Kit
Times Microwave Systems offers weather seal break out End Caps
for a number of the LMR bundled cables. These kits consist of a
hard ABS plastic split shell with stainless steel screws, a silicone
rubber split cushion and a silicone rubber gasket. The split cushion
is formed over the inner cables and the shell is then positioned
over the transition so that the end of the outer jacket of the cable is
roughly in the middle of the shell. (see the bundled cable End Cap
