French term or phrase: caisson d'introduction
This is from a Swiss French website for a telecommunication services company. The precise phrase may well be exclusive to Swiss French. Anyone able to give me the standard English equivalent?

Nous intervenons dans le cadre d'un déménagement ou d'une nouvelle installation afin de réaliser un raccordement de votre prise téléphonique au caisson d'introduction de votre maison ou villa.

Many thanks in advance for any help...
