Grounding for Xybix Desks

Xybix’s standard equipment does not require any specific grounding. We recommend that you contact your radio supplier for grounding specifics.
However, we do offer optional R-56 grounding for your Xybix workstations to meet any grounding standards.
Xybix can supply workstation grounding which consists of multiple grounding bars with #6 wires up to thirteen feet and #10 wires up to three feet from ground bars. Xybix grounds all metal items on work station including; Rollervision, Power bars, metal cable management and frames.

CPU / TechTower Ground Bar is the main ground bar on the workstation and will accommodate up to a #2 AWG wire. This ground bar is meant to be connected to the house ground that comes from the building.

Panel frames are bonded with lay-in-lug and a #6 AWG that is connected to a grounding bar. The table base is bonded with a #6 AWG wire to each side of the table and connected to a grounding bar.
