A grounding clamp assembly for a cable having a spiral metal shield employs a first clamp and a second clamp. The clamps have concave cradles. The clamps are forced together around the cable. A biased contact element connects with a conductive strip extending from one of the clamps. The cable is captured between the cradles, and the contact element engages the shield.

Cable ground clamp assembly

A locate wire connector provides a grounding wire connection for the locate wire of a fiber optic cable. The locate wire is partially separated from the fiber optic cable. A conductive stripper in the connector establishes electrical communication with the locate wire conductor upon placing the locate wire and fiber optic cable in the connector and closing same. A stud extending from the cover of the connector provides a terminal for connecting a ground wire. The connector may also contain a gel to ensure a waterproof grounding connection.
