Panduit GB4B1028TPI-1 Grounding Busbar

Overview

The Panduit GB4B1028TPI-1 is a grounding busbar designed for secure and reliable electrical grounding in structured cabling installations. This component ensures proper bonding of equipment racks and enclosures to the building's grounding system, mitigating electrical hazards and protecting sensitive network equipment from transient voltages. Its 1/4" x 1" copper bar provides ample surface area for multiple ground connections in a compact footprint, ideal for network closets and data centers.

Compatibility

This busbar is designed for integration into standard 19-inch rack systems. It is compatible with Panduit's range of grounding and bonding accessories, as well as general-purpose rack and cabinet systems where a 1/4" x 1" busbar is specified for grounding infrastructure. It facilitates the bonding of rack-mounted equipment, cable management systems, and other metallic components to the main electrical ground.

Installation Notes

The GB4B1028TPI-1 mounts to standard 19-inch rack rails using appropriate hardware (not included). Ensure all connections are made to a properly established building ground. Torque specifications for ground lugs and mounting hardware should adhere to local electrical codes and manufacturer recommendations to ensure a secure, low-resistance connection. The copper bar is rated for direct connection of ground wires and lugs.
