ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic cable bonding assembly includes a base member, a shield clamping member, and a strength member clamping member assembled in stacked relation. The fiber optic cable has a core, a metallic shield, at least one lengthwise extending strength member, and an overall jacket. A portion of the jacket is removed leaving exposed a portion of the metallic shield and the strength members. The base member has a tongue portion inserted between the shield and an underlying portion of the cable core. The shield clamping member overlies the shield to clamp the shield with the base member. A strength member clamping member overlies the strength members and the shield clamping member to clamp the strength members in a longitudinally extending direction. A threaded stud carried by the base member connects the base member, shield clamping member, and strength member clamping member together, as well as secures an end portion of a bonding strap to the stud.
