Locate wire connector and locate wire grounding method

摘要

A locate wire connector provides a grounding wire connection for the locate wire of a fiber optic cable. The locate wire is partially separated from the fiber optic cable. A conductive stripper in the connector establishes electrical communication with the locate wire conductor upon placing the locate wire and fiber optic cable in the connector and closing same. A stud extending from the cover of the connector provides a terminal for connecting a ground wire. The connector may also contain a gel to ensure a waterproof grounding connection.
