Optimized for smaller high-frequency lines with outer diameters between 0.245 in (6.22 mm) and 0.380 in (9.65 mm), this system wraps around 1\/4-inch and 3\/8-inch corrugated coaxial cables as well as elliptical waveguides including EW240, EW380, WR28, WG22, R320, WR42, WG20, and R220 runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to comply with military and international grounding standards including MIL-STD-188-124A and IEC 1024-1, this kit features a tinned-copper grounding strap that forms a comprehensive 360-degree contact surface over the cable shielding matrix without crushing the dielectric layer. The 24-inch (609.6 mm), 6-gauge PVC-jacketed copper bonding conductor terminates in a factory-attached two-hole compression lug for secure mechanical bolting to ground bars. To guarantee complete IP68 submersible moisture-sealing protection across demanding outdoor field environments, the assembly includes a two-part weatherproofing kit comprising heavy butyl rubber tape and industrial black vinyl PVC electrical wrap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp;
