What is the purpose of a cable termination box?

A cable termination box provides a central location for wires and fibers to connect to other devices. A cable termination box in a home, for example, might offer easy access to every network and television cable that is wired in the house.

Cable termination boxes are used in many different areas to contain and connect electrical and data cables. Outdoor termination boxes are often placed on homes and contain connectors for fiber or wire Internet connections going into the house. Other boxes are used on a larger scale, such as where a large quantity of fiber optic cables are joined together outdoors or in a data center.
