EXTERNAL GROUND ISOLATION CONNECTOR FOR CABLE SPLICE CLOSURES

摘要

An external ground isolation connector for use with a cable splice closure includes a housing having a keyed bore formed therein. A ground stud is keyed for extending through the bore in the housing so as to limit rotation of the stud within the housing. The ground stud has a first end for extending into an associated cable closure for connection to an internal ground wire, and a second end for extending externally of the cable closure for connection to an external ground wire. A port is formed in the housing for receiving the external ground wire. The first end of the ground stud is provided to be sealed with the housing and the closure and the second end of the ground stud is provided to be sealed with the housing.
