My employer wants me to install direct burial cable attaching it to an already existing span with cable ties. They won't purchase a cable with a messenger. But that is not the worst of it. They don't want to install a ground stake with a #6 cable coming from the protector. I don't think thay will even want to bond and ground the shield. They want me to terminate the pairs to the protector and then run a ground wire (#10 I suppose) from the protector to some kind of an adapter that plugs into a 110VAC outlet and which supposedly only has continuity with the ground terminal at the outlet. Of course this would send a lightning strike through who knows where in their customer's building Has anybody ever heard of such a thing? This idea seems absolutely wrong and very unsafe
