Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
12Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1) provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
See example as shown.
