Ground Block Attachment Hub

Model 389 is a ground cable attachment fitting in aluminum or brass that is identical in size and mounting to 360 and 380 Series blocks. Fits perfectly on all mounting frames but has 4 bored holes with stainless steel or brass setting bolts for inserting up to four heavy ground attachment cables. Holes are drilled and then counter-bored to perfectly snug fit with #4 THHW copper electric cable, although smaller ground wires may be used.

Suggested uses are grounding of tower, bulkhead grounding, use as a connection point for radial ground dissipation systems, or connecting multiple towers together with heavy cable for increased facility dissipation (highly recommended for multiple tower owners).

Supplied with synthetic copper-loaded anti-oxidant compound and stainless steel mounting hardware, weight 2 pounds.

Ground Block Support Mounts

Support mounts offer a high-integrity, low inductance method of attaching grounding blocks directly to ground rod tops. Available in single (one block) dual (two blocks), or triple (three blocks) versions with models available to fit most popular ground rod sizes, these assemblies are natural aluminum 6061-T6 or hardened brass, sanding texture finished, stainless or brass hardware. Unit weights are 2 pounds for single block mounts, 3 pounds for dual mounts, 4 pounds for triple units. (Add "S" to part number for brass.)

Split Cable Ground Blocks Compression Fittings


If system grounding and connection integrity are priorities in your telecommunications facility, here are a few helpful accessories that will add a professional polish.

Model 393 Series items are grounding blocks similar to our ground block series featured on page 16 but for applications where cable disconnections already exist or are desired. These blocks are perfect mechanical matches to our 360 and 380 Series blocks so they may be used with Model 390 Support Mounts or Tower Leg Fixtures shown on this page. Built for use with cables featuring UHF (SO-239) or N-type connectors compression-fit in the aluminum block medium, protruding from both-sides to female connectors onto which cables may be attached. Units provide tight, heavy shield bonding to earth ground connections, and are available in 1, or 2 bore fashions, as shown in the photograph.

Blocks are machined out and completely assembled with antioxidant compound at the factory, ready for field installation right out of the box / bag. Extra mounting compound provided.

Model 394 clamping assemblies are brass / bronze construction and are derivatives of popular "JI, JT" clamps used in the electrical service industry. Two piece fittings are connected together at point of mounting with solid brass hardware through6u~ including screws. Ideal for grounding tower legs, bus pipes, service tubing, etc. Model 394-JI fits round tube sizes 5/8" to 1-1/4", 394-J2 fits sizes 1-3/8" to 2" O.D. Models 394 and 394A are bronze ground rod clamps which can be used to clamp ground wire to rod. Rated for direct burial service, these units are known in the industry as "football" clamps.

Tower Leg Mounting Fixtures

Tower leg units allow the mounting of one or more 4" grounding blocks (either 360 or 380 Series) directly to tower base legs for common point short distance grounding connections of coaxial cable shields, providing clean, neat professional appearance.

Frame mounts are solid aluminum 6061-T6 material, brush-sanded and machined to perfectly fit across any two legs of most popular towers. Units are pre-drilled to accept blocks and include stainless steel hardware and quantity of conductive anti-oxidant compound. Simple to install, virtually permanent, frames and blocks rarely require any maintenance regardless of environment. All UPS shippable.

Now available in solid brass with stainless steel U-Bolts. Add letter "S" to part number. Example: 395-25GS is mounting frame for Rohn 25G in solid brass.

Assembled 50 Ohm RF Cables

ICE Manufactured RF cable assemblies are offered in a wide variety of individual lengths and connector choices. Each roll of cable used is 100% sweep tested before cutting and fabricated to meet ICE engineering specifications by major wire mills such as Belden, Alpha, ReMee, Consolidated, Colombia, International and others. All end fittings are pressure-fit to prevent rotation, soldered, tested, after assembly and lightly lubricated  with a silicon coating before storage and shipment to prevent tarnish  and moisture setting.

Ideal for laboratory use where reliability and flexibility are essential, or in Land Mobile, Marine, Amateur, Broadcast and Industrial applications.

Impedance Transformers

The ideal problem solver for matching different impedances of coaxial cable in a wide-spectrum configuration, or for matching/phasing coax-fed antennas in experimental designs. This units feature SO-239 or N input and output connectors, fully-shielded structural aluminum case, all stainless steel hardware, and torroidal ferrite circuit.

Models 890, 891, 892 are two 2:1 transformers which may be used to convert 25 to 50 ohms or 50 to 100 ohms. Units will up-convert or down-convert depending on which way they are inserted into the coax line. Very adaptable to a wide variety of antenna layouts, especially since they are broadband and not frequency restrictive. Excellent for stacking antennas or phasing verticals in the HF frequency range.

Model 895, 896, and 897 are for converting 50 ohm equipment output to 75 ohms unbalanced to drive popular CATV-type transmission line. Conversions work both ways, so one unit used at each end of line offers broadband coverage with excellent match and low insertion loss.

Each is packed with hardware, storage box, and 4-page owner's manual.
