The bonding of the information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure to a building\u2019s grounding system is an important element in safeguarding personnel, property, and equipment from foreign electrical voltages and currents. The new Version 2 of BICSI\u2019s Essentials of ICT Bonding and Grounding provides the common foundational knowledge needed for all aspects of bonding the ICT infrastructure, paving the way for designers, technicians and installers to design and implement a successful bonding infrastructure.<\/p>\n
