System and method for connecting service ground wire and coaxial drop cable

A coaxial bonding connector for coupling a coaxial cable to a power ground wire, comprising:

• a single strip of conducting material having first and second ends and folded approximately midway therein to form a clamp;
• wherein said strip possesses regions substantially curved at said first and second ends to form an open circular end of said clamp;
• and
• wherein said open circular end of said strip is adapted to receive said power ground wire therein.

A method of coupling a coaxial cable and a power ground wire, comprising the steps of:

• (a) inserting a power ground wire into an open circular end of a folded strip having a receiving channel therein;
• (b) manually compressing said folded strip such that said power ground wire is securely situated in said open circular end;
• (c) inserting a coaxial splice having a first end and a second end into said receiving channel of said strip;
• and
• (d) attaching coaxial cable to either end of said coaxial splice.

A method for providing a ground connection to a telecommunication system by splicing a coaxial cable and coupling that splicing location to a non-terminating section of a power ground wire with a conducting device having an opening and a receiving channel therein, comprising:

• (a) inserting said non-terminating section of said power ground wire into said opening of said conducting coupling device;
• (b) compressing said coupling device such that said power ground wire is securely attached thereto;
• and
• (c) electrically connecting said end of said coaxial cable to said receiving channel of said conducting coupling device.
