BOX ottico COMPLETO di 24 bussole FC SIMPLEX APC
"Fiber Optical BOX COMPLETE with 24 FC SIMPLEX APC sockets"?

Not compasses. These are parts of a "box ottico", elsewhere in the price list, "box ottico", part of a catalogue for a company producing air conditioners for large computer servers, plus fire extinguishers/detectors, environmental temperature measuring, etc. All part of a kind of workplace environment protection monitoring service the company seems to provide on several fronts.

Really no idea what the optical box is or does; there's a picture in the Excel file of the price list with a metallic or plastic flat, rectangular electronic-looking box... actually, there do seem to be 24 or so mini holes, maybe about the size of ethernet ports on a computer. Maybe sockets is right on.

Just found that ottico is probably Fiber Optic; don't know if they call the device a 'box' in English.

Any confirm on this?
