But what is that ground connector grounded to?

The copper line is for toning and yes, you do want to ground it.  We will be grounding it.  Else you can’t tone it if you put the tone on at the HH.

Good idea on clamping the strength members but I am not going to put them in the ground connector.

I think if your cable has any metallic component you're supposed to ground it.  I don't think there's any distinction made as to whether it's a toning wire, armor, or what have you.

I'd clamp the FRP strength members if there's a way provided to do it though.

    FWIW I think you have an issue with the fiber mounting.

    The "Ground Lug" is supposed to hold the Fiberglass strength
    members from the drop cable. This helps keep the cable from
    getting pistoned in or pulling out.

    The copper line on the drop cable is a tracer and should not be
    connected to anything at either end.

    At least that is how I was taught.
