So do you epoxy a splice tray into the box?
Do you add something to secure the ONT? Velcro strap maybe?

And there is enough room for UBNT ONT, waiting on our test box parts
to show up.

Where are you getting those for $15? Last place I checked wanted
$50-$60. I'm using the Corning Optiway nid enclosure. There isn't
as good of a place to attach a router board as in the one you
specified, but it does allow for a standard snap-in ONT. Ignitenet
claims that they are considering a mounting plate for their
revised media converter that will snap in to the standard size NID
closure. That would be nice.

We use a multilink NID that's about 6 times the size of that
for $15. RNI-3620 I think is the model. It does not have the
splice tray or adapter holder but has plenty of room to add
one if you wanted.

I like the above FIS brand NID box. I like that it has
built in slack storage and flip out splice tray. I like
the option of using snap-in mating sleeves. I like that
the door comes off by lifting upwards...then I can use
both elbows while I'm in the box. I like that the entry
points are standard conduit knockout sizes. I like that
it has a retaining clamp for a drop cable. I like that
it's weather proof.
What would make me happier:
(1) Forget the lock. Close it with a captive thumb screw.
(2) A padlock hasp so I *could* lock it.
(3) Make it larger. I'd want space for a small switch
or ONT, and I'd want to be able to drill out the knockouts
one size larger (you can't now due to depth).
(4) The mounting screw holes in the corners require a
long driver bit, they're just barely too small for my long
bit holder. ....another 1/16" would have saved me a trip
to the hardware store.
(5) Cheap.
Someone else would want room for an AC outlet and a UPS,
but not me.
Does my perfect box already exist? Could McCown build my
perfect box for less than $20,000?
