""
Telecommunication cable metallic shields shall be bonded to the site’s grounding electrode system as described herein. Where outside facility telecommunication cables are configured for a standard entrance, the metallic members of all incoming telecommunication cables, including paired-conductor and optical fiber cable, shall be grounded (earthed) to the MGB, either directly or through a SSGB at the facility’s entrance point. Each metallic member shall be effectively bonded to the grounding point with a 16 mm2 csa (#6 AWG) or coarser green-jacketed grounding conductor, or with a transmission
line ground kit, using bonding methods described within this chapter.

So they say #6 AWG.

I'm an unqualified rando on the internet, but I'd say if you grounded it with anything at all then you did better than most.

Subject: [AFMUG] Smallest gauge shield to ground

Whats the smallest gauge stranded ground i can use to bond bbdge copper shield to the ground lug on surge suppressors? Ive been using #8 but it gets cumbersome in a 12 port cross connect enclosure, i dont have footprint for a larger enclosure and my contractors hate my design
