This 1U or 10U grounding bar offers a simple way to ground your valuable rack-mounted equipment. To help protect your investment, you can attach the bar to your server rack or cabinet to create a ground contact for your servers, KVM consoles, video switches and other network devices. This TAA compliant product adheres to the requirements of the US Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA), allowing government GSA Schedule purchases.
