ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for grounding one or more cables, each cable having a cable jacket surrounding an electrically conductive layer that includes an exposed portion not covered by the cable jacket. The apparatus comprises an electrically conductive enclosure coupled to a ground potential and having an opening therethrough, a plurality of electrical conductors disposed across the opening to form a lattice, and an electrically conductive connection. The lattice is configured to receive the one or more cables therethrough such that the exposed portion of the electrically conductive layer of each cable makes electrical contact with at least one of the electrical conductors. The connection is electrical coupled to the lattice and the enclosure such that the electrically conductive layer of each cable received through the lattice is electrically coupled to the ground potential through the lattice, the connection, and the enclosure.
