          This is a fiber optic splicebox. It is a weatherproof enclosure where two (or more) ends of fiber optic cables are connected.



          Yes - electricity poles also carry optical fiber for control of the network and often internet access.

            That is a junction box which is weather proof, and is probably temporary and will be moved before it gets played with.

              It's a junction box for fiber optic cables.

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
