Abstract
A fiber optic shield connector and enclosure are adapted to provide reliable, weather resistant ground connections to the conductive shield of a fiber optic cable. The connector comprises two steel clamp sections which form a rigid, conductive assembly surrounding the fiber optic cable. A plurality of sharpened, hollow grounding screws thread through the clamp sections to pierce the cable jacket and establish electrical contact with the cable shield. A gel-filled, two-part molded plastic enclosure surrounds the assembled cable and connector to provide protection from the environment.
