    The document discusses proper grounding techniques for telecommunications equipment to prevent electrical disturbances from damaging sensitive equipment. It states that grounding requirements for safety are not sufficient and equipment downtime from inadequate grounding can cost millions. It recommends bonding racks, cabinets, cable trays and other metallic components to a signal reference grid grounded to the primary or secondary bonding busbar to dissipate electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference, electrostatic discharge and other disturbances. The Telecommunications Industry Association standard TIA-607-C provides specifications for implementing this supplementary grounding network in computer rooms and data centers.

    TIA-607-C, Rack & Cabinet Ground Bonding Solutions

    for Telecommunications Equipment


    Telecommunications equipment is sensitive to electrical disturbances. While minimum grounding requirements within the power
    distribution system are designed for personal safety and fire prevention purposes, data center downtime and damage to equipment
    as a result of inadequate grounding can cost an organization millions of dollars.

    Proper grounding is the most important factor in reliable network equipment performance. According to the IEEE, power distribution
    grounding is almost never sufficient to prevent damage to network equipment.

    In a data center, electrical disturbances introduced on data cables, when not properly dissipated through a signal reference grid, can
    result in faulty data signals, lost data and network inefficiencies.
