Re: What needs to be grounded?

Buried drops that are used in Florida that do have a 24ga "tracer" wire ARE grounded at the ONT or to the MGN at the house per Verizon's Bonding and Grounding Rules. There were some early installs (2005) that the fiber did not have a tracer so a 3 pair copper drop was buried along side of the fiber for locating purposes but those copper drops were not connected to the house they were just cut off at ground level.
Trust me we are in the LIGHTNING CAPITAL and we (Verizon)along with Tellabs have tried everything possible in trying to prevent ONT's from getting taken out by lightning. In fact the new 612A that is coming out is a result from Tellab's testing in Florida, 612A will have additional surge suppression built into the POTS connections.
