ACL Staticide 8091 Common Point Ground Cord, 10 ft, Dual Banana Jacks
ACL Staticide 8091 Common Point Ground Cord, 10 ft, Dual Banana Jacks
The ACL Staticide 8091 Common Point Ground Cord connects compatible ESD mats, wrist straps and other equipment to an earth grounding point. Its two banana-jack plug-in points let you organize connections at the bench, while the low-profile dome helps reduce snagging on clothing or equipment. A 10-foot coated wire provides reach between the mat connection and the designated grounding point.
Best Uses / Applications
- Electronics assembly benches using a compatible mat with a 10 mm female snap.
- PCB repair and inspection workstations requiring mat and wrist-strap connection points.
- Replacing a worn common point cord with matching connections and electrical specifications.
- Standardizing grounding hardware across similarly equipped workstations.
Key Features
- Two banana-jack plug-ins for compatible wrist-strap cords or other equipment.
- 10 mm male stud for connection to a compatible mat snap.
- 10-foot coated high-strength tensile wire.
- Ring-style termination for connection to the designated ground point.
- 1 megohm resistor, as specified by ACL.
- Low-profile dome designed to reduce catching on clothing and equipment.

Choosing Grounding Hardware
| Option | Consider when | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| ACL 8091 common point cord | You need a 10-foot cord with two banana-jack connection points | Mat has a compatible 10 mm female snap; electrical requirements match the cord |
| Mat-only grounding cord | Separate equipment already provides personnel-grounding connections | Exact snap type, termination, length and resistor specification |
| Grounding kit with snap hardware | The mat needs an attachment installed or replaced | Included hardware and suitability for the mat material |
Match both snap diameter and connection type. A 10 mm stud must mate with a compatible socket, not another stud. Have qualified facility personnel identify and verify the grounding point and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. A cord alone does not establish a complete ESD-control system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ACL Staticide 8091 used for?
It provides a common point connection for compatible mats, wrist straps and other equipment to an earth grounding point.
How long is the cord?
ACL specifies a 10-foot coated high-strength tensile wire.
What snap does the mat need?
The cord has a 10 mm male stud. The mat needs a compatible 10 mm female snap.
How many banana-jack connections are provided?
The 8091 has two banana-jack plug-ins. Confirm compatibility with the cords or equipment you plan to connect.
Does the 8091 have a resistor?
Yes. ACL specifies a 1 megohm resistor. Match that specification to your facility's equipment requirements.
Does this replace a wrist strap?
No. This product is a grounding cord with connection points; a compatible wrist strap and wrist-strap cord serve a separate personnel-grounding role.
Can I connect it to any metal object at the bench?
Do not improvise the grounding point. Use a point identified and verified by qualified facility personnel under your workstation procedures.
