Run a minimum 14 AWG copper grounding wire (or as specified by local code) from the bonding clamp to the nearest grounding electrode or equipment grounding bus. Keep this conductor as short and direct as possible — avoid sharp bends that increase impedance. Fiber optic cable transmits data as light through glass or plastic strands, which means the fiber core itself carries no electrical current and requires no grounding. The current language regarding optical fiber cabling grounding found in the NFPA 70 NEC 2014 is as follows: " 770. 93 Grounding or Interruption of Non–Current-Carrying Metallic Members of Optical Fiber Cables. What we do is ground the fiber metallic shield, the metallic stress member, or the locate wire on one end.

The average lifespan of fiber optic cable is around 20 to 30 years, depending on various factors such as the type of fiber, environmental conditions, and usage. Fiber optic cables have a reputation for their prolonged lifespan, low maintenance need, and dependable quality. From FTTH optics to industrial applications, backbone transmission, and cloud data centers, fiber cables can last for decades under appropriate installation and handling. Understanding how long these cables are designed to last can help users make informed decisions when choosing their connectivity solutions. A process called 'stress corrosion' is the biggest threat to the longevity of fibre cabling.
