What Does a Fiber Box Look Like?

Published in Fiber Optics 1 min read

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).
