Outdoor Junction box
Openreach will usually install a junction box on the outside of the property. This connects up the fibre from the street to the fibre that goes inside the property.
This is a passive device, doesn't require power, and is just used to connect the two fibres together. The photo shows both a Brown CityFibre unit and a Grey Openreach unit.
