How do you find one of these and what do they look like? I MUST have one on our line as our VRAD is on our lawn and our line goes directly towards the location of the VRAD. My stats are good but seem a little low for my listed distance on UV RT(Atleast I think lol). If I guesstimate our real distance is about 3 seconds of slow walking from the VRAD

What's the other then on the concrete?
What one is the SLC cabinet? The white or tan?
Also remember, I'm just assuming that's what it looks like from how it looks from Bing and using a random Google image that seems to fit somewhat lol.

This is a "SEM" - basically a pole-mounted VRAD. Somewhere nearby is the Crossbox (aka cross-connect box, X-Box). SEM is "Sealed Expansionl Module" ... I think it's an Alcatel 7357 ... something like that.

We have a much bigger, older-style crossbox near my home.

There are differnt sizes to cover different densities of service areas. I believe the really big ones tend to be SAI (Serving Area Interface) or RT (Remote Terminals). RTs are usually have power feeds, SAIs are pretty much just pair distribution.

Yet AGAIN I looked and actually saw something different that I believed. This(First picture) is behind(Second picture). The third picture is what used to be there back in 2005 or so. Used Google images :). Why does AT&T have to make these boxes have so many different types lol

Well, the top picture is likely to be a Remote Terminal (RT). IT's got active electronics in it.
The middle box iappears to be a Cross-connect box ("crossbox"," Xbox")
I've never seen anything like the bottom box (unless you're talking about the putty-colored box between the brown things, then there is not enough visible to make a good guess)

I see those last two things all the time around here (Greenville, SC area). I think they're some form of Cross Connect.

Those last two boxes were taken out a couple years ago. They were pretty old and probably for POTS or something.
