into it? Thanks!
Commercial ground kits include a bunch of butyl rubber vapor wrap
and 2" wide electrical tape. It's pretty easy to do with the right materials.
You cut the jacket away, attach the ground wire and weatherproof.
And no kinks in the ground wire - just a sweeping run to the attachment point.
Commercial ground kits use compression for the shield connection.
Trying to ground a small cable like 1/2" coax isn't as easy as the bigger
cables.
