A fiber box, also known as an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) or CPE (Client Premises Equipment), typically looks like a small white or black plastic box mounted on a wall inside your home.
Here's a more detailed description:
- Shape and Size: It's generally rectangular or square, and relatively small, perhaps around the size of a small cable modem or larger power adapter.
- Color: Most commonly, these are white or black to blend in with home decor.
- Material: Made of plastic.
- Location: It's installed inside your house, usually on a wall, where the fiber optic cable enters your home.
- Function: The fiber box connects the fiber optic cable from outside your house to your modem/router, converting the optical signal to an electrical signal that your other devices can use.
In summary, think of a small, usually white or black, plastic box attached to your wall - that's likely your fiber box (ONT).
