Bonding to Data Cabintet

Rather strange, the avatar you two chaps (# 14 &15) use, are strikingly similar. You seem to argue a lot, are you actually the same person with a bipolar disorder

No!
I don't wear flares
I'll run it by my psychiatrist first tho.

Have you tested to see if the cabinet is extraneous? TBH I would recommend IR testing as the MFT DC voltage could potentially damage any equipment within the rack but a continuity test between the MET and the rack would suffice. There is a calculation you can use for the maximum cable resistance but I can't find it at the minute, I'll try and dig it out.

This may be something to do with other telecommunications standards (BS 6701, BS EN 50174-1, BS EN50174-2).
I haven't seen these standards myself, but have seen them mentioned in various places.

I have a copy of the telecoms standards, complete waste of money as they basically say refer to BS7671, nice one IET...

I have found on calculation which will help on the TLC website but I'm sure there's another one also:

Supplementary boding conductors roughly halfway down.

Slight sidetrack - I contract to Vodafone, EE, O2 etc. They bond everything! It's ridiculous just how much.

Same here, at least I get a decent amount of offcuts...
