It's painted black, and mounted into our concrete wall with four anchors. It's mounted in our building where the fiber comes in from outside. No big deal, they just need a dedicated area for their equipment. All of this equipment is their property, and they have these specifications for putting at your location. We've got an OC-3 which is fiber, and some T1's. The T1's use a "smart jack" which is basically a router type piece of equipment that converts the signal on the T1 to a signal your CSU/DSU can handle. Our fiber has a patchpanel where each of the fibers come in from outside to a jack on this panel, then they run that from the jack into our router. That patch panel is their equipment too. If you go into any businesses that have a phone system, or a lot of phone lines, you'll see a similar thing on their wall where all the phone equipment and patchpanels are.
