What is a exterior electrical disconnect?

It is a small metal box close to an outside air or heat conditioning system that supplies the supply voltage to that unit. Inside that box is a pullout removable contact to remove the connections for servicing or other problems.

How far away should the disconnect for an air conditioner condensing unit be?

The IRC states that an AC unit should have "A readly accessable disconnect within sight from unit as the only allowable means".
