Abstract
Presented are the main design features of the large Cathode Strip Chambers (CSCs) for the CMS endcap muon system as well as the performance results ob tained with the first large-scale prototype. The 3.4 x 1.2 m(2) six-plane p rototype has been reliably operated over one year and the cosmic-ray tests showed that it was capable of detecting muons with similar to 80 mu m spati al and similar to 5 ns time resolutions.
