Italian term or phrase: pozzetto
I'm struggling to find an English translation for "pozzetto" in the context of fibre optic cable installations, can anyone help? I have found a picture of one here http://www.ecotelcavi.it/prodotti/infrastruttura-di-rete/poz... if it helps, and here is the sentence for context:

Considerando il sistema in fibra ottica un insieme di elementi costituito da infrastrutture, canalizzazioni, pozzetti, manufatti, cavo e relative terminazioni, si riportano di seguito le attività di Manutenzione Preventiva ciclica volte alla conservazione dello stato di efficienza dell’impianto.

Would "buried junction box" be appropriate?
