What is this box? I assume it's some kind of passive splitter. It appears to have 39 "ports" on the top with 15 lines connected. [Seems like an odd number, would have thought it would be a power of two. And who designed this with all the ports on the top where they can accumulate dirt].

Post any photos of said box on a sharing website and place the public link in this thread. Otherwise we’re driving blind on this 😅

Quoting the OPs post shows the following link but it does not appear in the post ... odd?
And not in my post either:

That is indeed odd with the link not showing up in the OP. Glitch of some sort.
Anyhow the link in your post looks like it’s taken from a riser cupboard of some description in a block of flats / MDU.
The box being an enclosure for a splitter and splice tray assembly. Individual fibre drops visible from the top. Incoming cable is black. A couple of ONTs visible on the right hand side.

Maybe my low post-count or something, the link was there originally, after I posted it was gone, I edited it, gone again, etc. Anyway, glad someone managed to look at it.
So how many lines can come off this? Is it limited to how many ports there are or is more complicated than that? And it's 36 ports not 39. I can count, I swear.

Looking at the Commscope website they come in various capacities upto 96 ports

In your post you have (I have changed square brackets to curly brackets so it will show):
(url="https://imgur.com/6jdGgZA")(/url)
What you need is between the close and open brackets you need some text as the link is put on the text and at present there is nothing.
(url="https://imgur.com/6jdGgZA")TEXT HERE(/url)
So, if I do the same but with the square brackets you will get: TEXT HERE

I think the problem was that I'm not familiar with the forum software - I edited the post, thought I'd saved it but then there's a second prompt to actually save the changes, which I realised on editing a different post.

Yep, Openreach MDU kit.
Vaguely like this inside ….. https://ibb.co/xS6CQg3

Is it usual in an MDU scenario like this to have the ONTs in there for (presumably) monitoring / a quick ready reckoned that the PON is up and functional?

Hard to be sure but does the photo show writing , Lift 1 , Lift 2 , on the ONT’s , being an MDU , having lifts seems plausible and don’t lifts need to have communication to the outside world in the case of emergencies?

Ah. Sharp eyes! Missed the writing. Clearly not in use yet or at least not cabled to the Ethernet port. No power backup in place. Maybe for ordinary (not emergency) lift system telemetry?

They will be lift phones / telemetry with cellular backups, at that point it's less important to have the ONT on a UPS.

Some lifts have video feeds for security

Good point @jpm. Any backup power / comms. probably within the lift controls.
