Purpose
The purpose of this presentation is to
give the user a better understanding
of the requirements set forth by
ANSI-J-STD-607-A, Commercial
Building Grounding (Earthing) and
Bonding Requirements for
Telecommunications
ANSI J-STD-607-A
This standards specifies the
requirements for a uniform
telecommunications grounding
and bonding infrastructure
that shall be followed within
commercial buildings where
telecommunications
equipment will be installed.
Telecommunications
Definition:
All forms of information that are
conveyed within the building, for
example voice, data, video,
environmental control, security, audio,
etc.

The TBB is a
conductor that
interconnects all
TGBs with the TMGB
Originates at the
TMGB extends
throughout the
building using the
telecommunications
backbone pathways,
and connects to the
TGBs in all
telecommunications
rooms and
equipment rooms.
TBB
TBB Function
The intended function of a TBB is to reduce
or equalize potential differences between
telecommunications systems. While the
TBB will carry some current under ac
power ground fault conditions, it is not
intended to provide the only ground fault
return path.

Summary
For over the past hour, we have
presented a large amount of
information concerning grounding and
bonding, hopefully some of it was
informative. If there are other issues
you would like addressed, please
contact us. Thank you for your time.
