Overview

The Panduit RGRB19Y StructuredGround™ Grounding Busbar Kit is engineered to provide a dedicated and compliant grounding system for 19-inch racks and cabinets that meet EIA-310-D standards. This essential component ensures optimal system performance and robust protection for your network equipment, especially in situations where equipment is already installed and field-deployed. The RGRB19Y is designed for threaded rail fasteners, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for manual paint removal from the rack. Its thread-forming screws ensure a secure connection without damaging the rack's protective coating. Measuring 19 inches (483mm) in overall width and 19.37 inches (491.5mm) in depth, this tin-plated copper busbar offers a common grounding location within the cabinet, crucial for meeting U.S. and international grounding standards, including BICSI and ANSI/TIA-607-D compliance. The busbar features fourteen holes arranged for flexible mounting, allowing it to be positioned anywhere on the rack or cabinet. Each kit includes the busbar and the necessary mounting hardware, specifically two #12-24 x 0.5" and two M6 x 12mm thread-forming screws, facilitating a quick and easy setup. By providing a complete system of matched components, Panduit enables users to select the right solutions to save both cost and labor. The RGRB19Y is a key element in establishing a reliable electrical infrastructure, safeguarding sensitive equipment from electrical disturbances and ensuring operational continuity. Its construction from high-connectivity copper ensures efficient grounding. This product is manufactured in the USA.
