Connection
A ground cable grounds a device to protect it from lightning and electromagnetic interference. A ground cable is connected to a chassis in the following way:
- The OT-4 naked crimping connector connects to the ground point on the chassis.
- The OT-6 naked crimping connector connects to the ground point on the cabinet.
