Hubbell HGRKTHT10 Rail Grounding Kit

Overview

The Hubbell HGRKTHT10 is a 19-inch rail grounding kit designed to provide electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for sensitive electronic equipment installed in standard 19-inch racks. This kit is essential for environments where static electricity can damage components or cause intermittent failures, such as data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets. Each kit contains ten individual grounding straps, ensuring multiple devices or rack sections can be properly bonded to earth ground. The HGRKTHT10 facilitates a critical step in maintaining system integrity and preventing costly downtime caused by static discharge.

Compatibility

This grounding kit is designed for use with standard 19-inch equipment racks. The grounding straps attach to the metal frame of the rack, providing a common ground point for any electronic equipment mounted within. It is compatible with a wide range of rack-mounted devices, including servers, network switches, NVRs, and other sensitive electronics where ESD protection is a requirement. The kit is suitable for general IT infrastructure, surveillance system racks, and automation control panels.

Installation Notes

Each grounding strap in the HGRKTHT10 kit features a crimped-on lug for secure attachment to the rack's grounding point and a spring-loaded clip for easy, tool-free connection to the equipment chassis or a dedicated grounding busbar. For optimal ESD protection, ensure the rack frame itself is properly bonded to the building's earth ground. The spring clip provides a reliable connection that can be easily removed and reattached if equipment is serviced or replaced. The 19-inch length is suitable for standard rack depths, allowing for a clean and organized grounding solution.
