sending cable and Ethernet line 2 barn wired on same box as main home. need help plea

[wootoot99]

trying to figure out if I need ground and bond and surge protectors. Both buildings on the same grid and I need to feed coax and cat6 to building 2 which has separate box, but as I said, it is fed by the main in main home.

Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't seperate structures have their own intersystem bond block? ~RJ~

I would ground both ends of system myself and ground the various cables inside... actually would use a large box at both ends for weatherproof connections and then run through a 2 inch pvc from box to box... easier to run and change stuff later... would even leave a few pullcords in to help myself...

then use the grounding connectors at both ends... bond from there to the grounding point at each building... that way nothing should break equipment in one building because of lightning near other one...

Not sure if required but after years of using radio gear, I would rather spend the extra for the protection of all my tvs and radios...
