1. General
This instruction describes the installation of the Eclipse® Connector Housing (ECL-C4U) (Figure 1)
manufactured by Corning Optical Communications.
The C4U housing is a rack-mounted fiber optic connector housing designed for use in CATV
applications in headend and hub locations. It accepts up to twelve (12) connector panels or
modules. Direct connectorization of loose tube cables can be performed in the unit using the Buffer
Tube Fan-out Kit (ordered separately). Connectorized pigtails may also be used when the C4U
housing is used in conjunction with a splice housing (p/n ECL-S4U).
