1. A grounding clip for fastening and electrically contacting at least two cables to a separate surface, the grounding clip comprising:
a plate having a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge opposite the first longitudinal edge, wherein the first and second longitudinal edges extend in a first direction of the plate, and a first transverse edge and a second transverse edge opposite the first transverse edge, wherein the first and second transverse edges extend perpendicularly to the first and second longitudinal edges in a second direction of the plate;
a first cable fastening region for fastening and electrically contacting a first cable to the plate, wherein the first cable fastening region extends along the first transverse edge;
a second cable fastening region for fastening and electrically contacting a separate second cable to the plate, wherein the second cable fastening region extends along the second transverse edge;
an opening arranged between the first and second cable fastening regions for inserting a fastener, wherein the opening is centered between the first and second cable fastening regions;
a first tab extending between the first and second cable fastening regions in parallel to the first transverse edge and perpendicularly to a plane of the plate in a direction of an underside of the plate; and
a second tab extending between the first and second cable fastening regions in parallel to the second transverse edge and perpendicularly to the plane of the plate in the direction of the underside of the plate.
