ABSTRACT:
A device and method for grounding/bonding a cable television connector. A planar block of conductive material having various configurations connects the connector parallel to a ground/bond wire. The block has a set of two to four throughbores in it. The first throughbore receives the cable television connector, the second throughbore receives a ground/bond wire or a ground/bond bolt, the third throughbore receives a set screw for the ground/bond wire, and the fourth throughbore if required receives a set screw for the cable television connector. The block can have a plurality of the three throughbore sets for grounding/bonding a plurality of cable television connectors. The cable television connectors generally have threads that mate with the threads of the first throughbore. One embodiment integrates the block and the cable television connector resulting in only two throughbores for a set screw to secure a ground/bond wire which is perpendicular to the axis of the connector.
