Review on 🌟 StarTech.com GNDBAR1U Grounding Bar for Server Racks - 10U Copper Ground Strip - Efficient Rack Grounding Solution by John Larsen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A well-sized copper earth bar for a wall shelf.

Unpacking: When I opened the box, I was pleased to find the copper rod. The packaging kept the bar shiny and intact, but I have to admit there was no enjoyment of the art on the packaging or any real enjoyment upon opening. Spring. ok, i was expecting just one rod. Parts: Includes grounding screws and prefabricated rod. The ends are threaded for attaching screws to the frame. As another reviewer mentioned, there's very little to screw up here, and StarTech excels at not screwing up easily. Installation: I installed this ground bar in my house on a 14U wall rack and grounded it to my house's ground wire with 6 gauge copper wire. Luckily, the recent grounding of my gas manifold was enough for me. Most of my network rack gear has grounding screws so they can be easily attached to the rack. Tip: I installed all the screws in advance so I don't have to look for them next time I'm installing a new item. there is no harm in it, only an increase in sanity. so I don't have to look for them the next time I install a new item. there is no harm in it, only an increase in sanity. so I don't have to look for them the next time I install a new item. there is no harm in it, only an increase in sanity.
