July 22, 2026

Electric Motion Company® and Hubbell® Brands Deliver Complete Bonding and Grounding Solutions for Telecom Networks

Hubbell Canada is drawing attention to the critical role of proper grounding and surge protection in telecommunications network reliability, offering a comprehensive line of bonding and grounding hardware for applications spanning outside plant (OSP) to data centre environments.

Hubbell Canada Addresses Network Grounding from Outside Plant to Data Centre

Marketed through the Electric Motion Company® and Burndy®, the product family covers the full range of grounding requirements: bonding and grounding straps and harnesses, mechanical and compression connectors, fiber optic shield connectors, fiber to the premises (FTTx) grounding solutions, intersystem bonding components, shield connectors, grounding tools, clamps, and busbars.

The breadth of the offering enables network owners and OSP contractors to specify a single manufacturer’s hardware across diverse installation types, from aerial fiber attachments on utility poles to in-building and data centre termination points simplifying procurement, documentation, and warranty management on large projects.

Hubbell Canada notes that lightning and power cross surges remain primary causes of costly network downtime and customer service interruptions. The company’s grounding product engineering team also works with customers to develop modified or purpose-built hardware for non-standard network architecture, extending the catalogue’s utility on complex or custom deployments.

With Canada’s broadband infrastructure investment at record levels and data centre construction accelerating in major markets, proper grounding specification has become a front-line risk management consideration for network owners and their electrical contractors.
