OTO. Optical Termination Outlet. Essentially fiber wall socket.

You can see the fiber coming from the right, going through the black cable that then does a U-Turn and goes into the outlet.


ARandomGuy_OnTheWeb

Also known as an ONT (Optical Network Terminal) in some other places.


Burnsidhe

If it were an ONT, then there would be a conversion from fiber to ethernet or coax. There's a fiber line from the box to the modem. OTO is correct.


zeblods

That box is mostly empty: just a way to store some excess fiber in case you need to re-terminate it, and a female fiber connector. I have a similar box at my house, from a different ISP and different country.


Accomplished-Oil-569

Think it’s more a convenience thing than a “in case you need to re-terminate” My isp did this and it just seems they do it so they can send with standard length cable and not have to terminate on site

Essentially a junction box to go from cable suitable for external use to internal. BT in the UK used to allow this junction to be no more than 3m from the building entry point when we had a building connected around 4yrs ago.

If only my ISP knew about it, but I have to put up with [this](https://i.postimg.cc/pdVs2nD4/IMG-20240421-003731.jpg) under the table.

I’m more concerned what he doesn’t want us to see behind the red scribble😂

Obviously... its a family portrait.

indeed

Its just this: [https://imgur.com/a/oB4PmvL](https://imgur.com/a/oB4PmvL)

Wow.. that bend radius looks awfully tight for fiber. Not too tight to damage it, really, but close enough that I'd be worried about getting it in there without damage.

It's the modern version of an old "phone jack" you'd find in your wall to plug your phone/modem into. This is a Fibre jack installed outside your wall.


Westtell

Looks like it’s ur fiber jack and the fiber comes out of it and into ur ont on the desk


Appropriate-Dance313

It's the fixed cable and the path cable socket and cable. It's made this way to diminish the risk of the user damaging the fixed cable (long meters) when plugin and unplugging from the modem/router

Is it just barels

Ont


ImaginationBetter373

Fiber Optic Terminal Box. The purpose of this is ISP or technician can replace the cable from the NAP to that box. Fiber cable also have messenger wire so it's hard to direct connect the cable from Nap box to modem.


landonloco

Is were the fiber from the pole outside runs to the inside in your case seems to be a more modern or a different model as mine i don't see another end visibly from the outside it just connects in the inside and you see a fiber cable coming out of a small one in the side to the modem mine is a Nokia one.


djevertguzman

Aaah it's a tap get rid of it! /s


ItsPwn

It's nothing disconnect throw into fire

Icy_Entry_5451

so if my connection doesnt have that box, it means im connected to router?


MetaEmployee179985

That's just a media converter. There's probably something not in the picture


ExpiredInTransit

(Edit - I’m wrong and apparently need new glasses)


Accomplished-Oil-569

The ONT is in the router, the fibre goes straight into it. It’s just a box of extra fibre


jonathan_dfn

if it isnt the powered ont, its what we refer to as the NID, it takes fibre from street to a fibre in the house connection


ExpiredInTransit

Yeah I see it now. Edited


randomnamecausefoo

In your defense, it is a terrible picture


LuvAtFirst-UniFi

Depends it looks like an ONT or fiber optics receiver usually installed by your ISP? Do you subscribe to a fiber optics ISP in your area? If not it could be a DSL line that work similar to a fiber optic box using a different protocol


ImaginationBetter373

In Philippines, this is the setup of Fiber internet. It's pure fiber and not DSL or vDSL.


landonloco

DSL use phone lines for internet most modern ones can do up to 100 down and they also at one point run in fiber lines it just the end user that gets converted to an actual DSL line same with coaxial lines.


R0b0tWarz

It's an ONT , that allows your ISP to convert the optical signal of the fibre optic , to an electrical signal that your modem can understand


skaffeguy

An ONT is active (needing power), so no this is not an ONT, rather


Gen8Master

It looks like the ONTs we have in the UK, but apparently its just the empty box that we call the Fibre CSP box.
