Green Metal Box on BT Pole


[link to this post] 		 
I have been meaning to ask what this Green Metal Box attached to a BT pole is. It has been there for a couple of years or so and appeared when Open Reach were rolling out Fibre in the Hawarden (WNHAW) Exchange Area.

The pole serves just a few customers. The box can be seen here:-

Any ideas its purpose? There is no ID on the metal box.

Cheers!

A picture of the head of the pole, to show what cables or fibres are coming down or going up might elict some useful speculation.

It's a splitter node.

Check other stock photos with cover removed.

Yeah both options, below ground or pole have been about since the beginning of their rollout....

See half-way down the page for some other styles:

It does NOT have to be a splitter node. It might just be a track node, or a DP node .

It was from earlier BFT equipment.

Worked on a few.

Very true. Ultimately another enclosure style to contain splice trays.

I thought they were drop off point for Deliveroo to leave the BT Tech's coffee and doughnut order.
