Description

2.1

The EDC is a cabinet designed for storage

and protection of 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 two
LANscape

®

 connector panels. Some connector

panels come with icons. Colored icons are
available with different symbols to be used as a
quick visual reference of the data type at each
connector location. Panels and connector panel
icons are ordered separately.
