I know this topic has been discussed ad nauseum in other forums, but I can't seem to nail down a specific topic that covers what I need (Search is not my friend today).

I'm looking for documentation showing specific requirements regarding sinking your own ground rod for grounding racks and other telecom/data equipment. My recollection is that the separate rod needs to be bonded to the electrical panel or ufer to prevent potential between the ground rod and the ground that's on the energized equipment mounted in the rack.

Can someone please straighten me out, with reference to code (electric, BICSI, etc.)?

Thanks!

Justin
