Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for grounding feed or supply cables between transmitters or receivers and antennas or aerials, whereby at least one connector, through an aperture in the outer sheath of the supply cable, is in contact with an exposed portion of an inner conductor of the supply cable for grounding the inner conductor through at least one ground wire cooperating with the connector. In order to obtain the grounding of the inner conductor with few members, to mount the grounding device quick and safe and to reinforce the supply cable at the spot weakened by the aperture, the connector is provided on a bracket which in cooperation with at least one other bracket engages the supply cable and is located thereon so that the connector is directed into the aperture and is in contact with the exposed portion of the inner conductor, whereby the bracket with the connector has sealing members which engage the outer sheath around the aperture therein when the bracket with the connector is located on the supply cable.
