We have been putting FTC11 media converters in these. looking at mouting
the UBNT ONT in them instead for this year. We mount it to the back on an
angle, store a couple loops of slack drop cable around the perimieter of
the box. We terminate the fiber into an LC connector directly so do not use
a splice tray. There would probably be room for a small splice tray if you
wanted.
