Oh I'm less concerned about a cheap NID box. I think we're paying $17
for a NID box from FIS.
The "Laura" I bought was an aerial splice closure with trays for 48
splices and 4 cable entry ports. At a price of$25 I could forgive most
of its faults, but there was no obvious way to store slack in it. I'd
only want a few feet of extra buffer tube, but there isn't even that.

Interesting. So if you get something that is cheesy and cheap for $20
to $30 per box, for a side of house FTTH termination box... Can anyone
recommend something that's noticeably better quality at $45-50/piece?

Baltic Networks is carrying a line of fiber enclosures from a company
called Extralink, which I think is based in Poland.

They're very cheap, and for some reason they all have girl's names. I
bought the "Laura" just to see what it was like. After setting it up
today it was very unimpressive, and I don't think I would ever want to
use this in real life. I could itemized complaints, but basically
every part of it cheesy.
The manufacturer's page is very light on details though, so I'm
wondering if maybe I should try a different one before I write them
off.
