Abstract
A grounding clamp positioned on a coaxial cable at a location other than an end of the coaxial cable, wherein the grounding clamp includes an outer shell having a radial relationship with an elastomeric sleeve, the elastomeric sleeve being radially disposed over a conductive bonding contact, the conductive bonding contact being radially disposed over an outer conductive portion of the coaxial cable, wherein axial compression of the grounding clamp facilitates electrical contact between the outer shell and the conductive bonding contact and between the conductive bonding contact and the outer conductive portion of the coaxial cable. Furthermore, an associated method for maintaining ground continuity is also provided.
