Thomas & Betts IBT3CB-B1-10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Thomas & Betts IBT3CB-B1-10 intersystem bonding termination used for?
It is a copper termination ground bar that serves as an intersystem bonding termination, the single point where communications, cable, and satellite services bond to the building's grounding electrode system instead of each utility driving its own rod or clamping onto a water pipe. One device, multiple service grounds, all tied to the same electrode.
2) Is the IBT3CB-B1-10 ground bar UL listed?
The copper termination ground bar carries UL file E89661. That listing number is what an electrical inspector or an institutional spec reviewer will want to see on the submittal for an intersystem bonding termination.
3) Will an intersystem bonding termination like the IBT3CB-B1-10 satisfy the inspector instead of grounding the cable and phone lines separately?
That is exactly what the device is for. An intersystem bonding termination gives the cable, telephone, and satellite installers an accessible, listed point to land their bonding conductors on the building's grounding electrode system, so each trade is not improvising its own connection. The Thomas & Betts unit is UL listed under file E89661. Confirm with your AHJ how many terminations your service requires and where it must be mounted relative to the meter or service disconnect.
4) Why copper rather than an aluminum or plated ground bar?
The IBT3CB-B1-10 is a copper bar, which matters when the conductors landing on it are copper. Copper on copper avoids the dissimilar-metal corrosion you invite by mixing copper conductors onto an aluminum body, especially on an exterior service wall where the termination sees weather.
5) What is the exact part number and manufacturer for this copper termination ground bar?
Thomas & Betts, part number IBT3CB-B1-10. That is the number to quote on a distributor order or a submittal; the same number is the MPN on the item.
6) Does the IBT3CB-B1-10 ship as a single piece or in a multi-pack?
It is sold each, so one order quantity equals one termination bar. For a multi-family or campus job where every service entrance needs one, count openings and order to match rather than assuming a carton quantity.
