Abstract

A grounding clamp positioned on a coaxial cable at a location other than an end of the coaxial cable, wherein the grounding clamp includes a first shell portion disposed over an elastomeric sleeve, the elastomeric sleeve having a slit extending therethrough; a second shell portion disposed over the elastomeric sleeve, wherein the first shell portion and second shell portion securably join to form an outer shell, the outer shell having a first end and an opposing second end; and a conductive bonding contact at least partially surrounded by the elastomeric sleeve, the conductive bonding contact at least partially surrounding an exposed outer conductive portion of a coaxial cable; wherein tightening of the first shell portion to the second shell portion drives the conductive bonding contact into contact with the exposed outer conductive portion of the coaxial cable to facilitate an adequate electrical grounding connection. Furthermore, an associated method for maintaining ground continuity is also provided.
