The SSB GC-10 grounding kit (SSB 6819) is designed for equipotential bonding of 10 mm coaxial cables such as Ecoflex 10 and Aircom Premium. It removes voltage differences between the cable and earth potential and discharges, for example, a charge built up on the antenna or cable during a thunderstorm. The grounding kit does not replace lightning protection.

Installation
Connect the grounding body to the equipotential bonding bar or earth potential with the shortest possible cable. Carefully strip 30 mm of the coaxial cable jacket, place the cable in the body, close the body and tighten the screws with a 5 mm hex key. Illustrated mounting instructions are on the Documents tab.
