Fiber optic cables themselves transmit data as light and are non-conductive, so the fiber core does not require grounding. However, many fiber optic cables and terminal boxes include metallic components such as steel armoring, aluminum moisture barriers, copper strength members, or metallic messenger wires. These components must be grounded to prevent electric shock, equipment damage, and fire hazards. Additionally, any metallic conduit or tray carrying fiber optic cables must also be grounded according to standard electrical codes (NEC Article 770, NFPA 70) .
