Patent ID: 8337220

Claim:
A grounding bracket for grounding a coaxial cable connected to a barrel of an electronic device, the coaxial cable having an inner conductor and an outer conductive sheath electrically separated from the inner conductor, the barrel having a conductive inner port and a conductive outer surface electrically separated from the conductive inner port, the grounding bracket comprising: a body of an electrically conductive material, the body including a first portion and a second portion, wherein: the first portion is adapted to be electrically connected directly to the conductive outer surface of the barrel of the electronic device; the second portion, electrically connected to the first portion, is adapted to be electrically connected to a ground wire, such that the grounding bracket provides a grounding path between the conductive outer sheath of the coaxial cable and the ground wire via the conductive outer surface of the barrel; the first portion includes an aperture for receipt on the barrel, the aperture configured for seating on the conductive outer surface of the barrel; and the first portion of the grounding bracket comprises: a central member including the aperture; a first lateral flange extending from the central member; and an arm member extending from the lateral flange and electrically connected to the second portion.
