ABSTRACT:
A device (20) for connecting a ground wire (66) to a metallic portion of a cable (30) includes a first cable engagement portion (22) having a bond shoe (42) which is adapted to be engaged with a metallic cable shield (34). The bond shoe has an upstanding portion (52) projecting therefrom and adapted to be secured to an upstanding portion (56) of a second cable engagement portion (24). A plate (58) of the second cable engagement portion is adapted to become engaged with and to become secured to a portion of a plastic jacket (36) of the cable which encloses the metallic shield. A bonding block (26) having two bores each adapted to receive an end portion of a ground wire is secured to the two upstanding portions. Wire-like strength members (38--38) of the cable may be terminated in a clamped manner between the upstanding portions of the second cable engagement portion and the bonding block. Advantageously, the connecting device is independent of any closure in which it may be disposed.
