<p>A fiber optic shield connector (10) and enclosure are adapted to provide reliable, weather resistant ground connections to the conductive shield of an optic cable (40). The connector (10) comprises two steel clamp sections (10A, 10B) which form a grid, conductive assembly surrounding the fiber optic cable. A plurality of sharpened, hollow grounding screws (20) thread through the clamp sections (10A, 10B) to pierce the cable jacket and establish electrical contact with the cable shield. A gel-filled, two-part molded plastic enclosure (60) surrounds the assembled cable and connector to provide protection from the environment.</p> |
