The subscriber connector unit is used for the connection of an outdoor to an indoor drop wire. It consists of a rectangular box base with a cover and a five-pole connection module secured to the base.

The top and base are hinged together, and the top is easily removable to facilitate working in cramped conditions. The cable grommets for wire entry and exit may be adjusted to conductor size and are also removable.

A metal screw is provided in the wire housing recesses to secure the wires.
