English term or phrase: bonding jumper

High frequency bonding jumpers - Jumpers must be short, less than 500 mm
(20 in) and good high frequency conductors. Thin, wide metal strips are best with
length not more than three times width for best performance. Jumpers can be copper,
aluminum, or steel. Steel has the advantage of not creating galvanic half-cells when
bonded to other steel parts.
Jumpers must make good electrical contact with both the enclosure and the signal
reference structure. Welding is best. If a mechanical connection is used, each end
should be fastened with two bolts or screws with star washers backed up by large
diameter flat washers.
Each enclosure must have two bonding jumpers of short, random lengths. Random
lengths are used so that parallel bonding paths are of different quarter wavelength
multiples. Do not fold bonding jumpers or make sharp bends.

Der Begriff ist auch in der engl. Wikipedia zu finden, wenn auch viel knapper erklärt als in der deutschen:
Bonding jumper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A bonding jumper is a reliable conductor to ensure the required electrical conductivity between metal raceways required to be electrically connected.[1]

[edit] Components
Bonding jumper, equipment: The connection between two or more portions of the equipment-grounding conductor.
Bonding jumper, main: The connection between the grounded circuit conductor (neutral) and the equipment-grounding conductor at the service.
