fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is
intended to be connected to earth in the building installation.

Installation of CATV

The installation instructions states the cable distribution system should be grounded
(earthed) in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70. the National Electrical Code (NEC), in
particular Section 820.93, Grounding of Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable.

Installation of Antenna

The installation instructions states the cable distribution system used for connection

to antennas and dishes should be grounded (earthed) in accordance with ANSI/
