Description

2.1

The EDC that stores and protects fiber

optic connections and splices in an outdoor
environment. The cabinet carries a NEMA 250
Type 4X and Type 13 rating in addition to a
IEC 529 IP66 rating. The unit provides
environmental protection and strain-relief for
one distribution cable and up to six drop cables.

2.2

Connector panels are used to provide

interconnection between the distribution and
drop cables. The EDC accommodates up to six
LANscape

®

 connector panels. Colored icons are

available with different symbols for a quick
visual reference of the data type at each
connector location. Panels and connector panel
icons are ordered separately.

2.3

The unit accommodates six Type 2S or

three Type 4S splice trays that protect
mechanical or fusion splices. Splice trays are
ordered separately.

2.4

The unit can be field connectorized using

buffer tube fan-out (BTF) kits, which are
ordered separately.

2.5

The EDC comes with brackets to mount

the unit to a wall or a standard utility pole. The
unit may be rack-mounted with an optional
rack-mount kit.
