Lmao I do this for a living, and yes everything in fiber network design is a box.
Also yes, these are all industry standard terms. We use HH for Handhole (underground) as well.
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.

Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.

The FTTH industry is a grab bag of good old boys that grew as a tumor off the old telecoms.
When I started most of the design work was still just kinda vibed out. I've written a ton of software for our company that automates the design process, so you know, it's like actually a functional graph/redundant network. Before they just kinda plugged stuff in and manually went through thousands of fiber traces in CAD to fill out a spreadsheet that was used for splicing...
The splitter isn't labelled as 'splitter' smh my head
There's not one splitter, there's Trays (TRAY) of splitters in a Splice Closure (SPLCL) that has splitters (Nx(1xY))
Those are actual terms and yes, splice closures are watertight enclosures for splicing. Theyre usually cylyndrical boxs you see on aerial comm cables attached to Snow Shoes (SS) which are those things that look like show shoes and prevent the Fiber Optic Cable (FOC Transmedia) from surpassing it's bend radius in the Slack Loop (SL)

Here's the official training site for Fiber Optic workers
(I secretly love it because it's pure HTML and still updated regularly)
Plus Lenny Lightwave is chill

Optical Terminal Outlet is also a box
At this point (ATP), we must embrace the box (ETB)
no love for BEP?
