Grounding Methods Compared

To select the best grounding method for shielded cable installations, you have to strike a balance between installed cost and grounding performance. Yet that’s easier said than done.

Some of the most common grounding methods, while seemingly inexpensive in terms of the component cost, require labor-intensive installation procedures that can drive up installed cost significantly.

Other methods lack the full 360º contact between the grounding hardware and the cable braid, reducing the effectiveness of the grounding connection and protection against EMI.
