Quick question: When using a duplex MC connector like a 3838ast, is it acceptable to use only one port and leave the other open (only feed one line of MC in)? Does this violate any codes?

Thanks for your help,

istm an open KO as well. Does anyone make a plug for a 2-1 MC connector with just one MC cable in it?

worst case install a very short cable into the connector to plug the hole, but don't connect any of the conductors to anything - is no different then some "spare" being installed for future use.
