Claim 0:
1. A bracket assembly for establishing an equipotential plane in a cable runway, the bracket assembly comprising:
a cable runway splice kit including at least one splice bracket made from an electrically-conductive material; and
a pair of bonding endcaps made from an electrically-conductive material, each bonding endcap including a bonding lug, a spring clip, and a deflectable tab structure that protrudes from the bonding lug, wherein each spring clip is positionable within a channel of a corresponding cable runway rail for electrical bonding therewith, and each bonding lug includes a contact portion received within the spring clip for electrical bonding therewith;
wherein, when the cable runway rails are arranged in an end-to-end relationship, ends of the cable runway rails having the bonding endcaps are receivable within a bracket channel of the at least one splice bracket such that the deflectable tab structure of each bonding endcap is engaged against and is deflected by the at least one splice bracket, thereby establishing an electrical bonding connection between the pair of cable runway rails through the at least one splice bracket and creating a shared equipotential plane.
