Sorry Wirenut but I'm not following what you're being asked to do. What do you mean by "bond both feeds"?

Welcome to the forum.:)

does 800.93 state the metal sheath shall be grounded. when i extended the phone and cable from the garage to the house i used cat 5 and rg 6 there is no metal sheath and since its grounded at the demarc would grounding the if there was a meatal sheath on the cables between the 2 structures create a parallel ground path btw the structures are no more than 20 feet apart

From the way I understand it you are required to ground it at the demarc and at the entrace to the structure but if the demarc is your entrance than you need to only ground it once at that location
