Older Openreach ONT (Optical Network Termination) such as the one pictured, is actually inside the enclosure. This also contains a Battery Backup Unit (BBU) along with various wiring and cable management.

Newer ONT installs do not include the BBU, and are also not in a larger enclosure.

The ONT requires power, so will need a mains power socket nearby.
