•10-to-14 AWG copper ground wire (insulated or noninsulated)

•Wire-stripping tool for stripping both 10- to 14-AWG copper ground wire

•Crimping tool as specified by the ground lug manufacturer

•Torque wrench

Caution Before making connections to the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance, ensure that you disconnect the power at the circuit breaker. Otherwise severe injury or damage to the appliance may result.
