I have a Forward Path Attenuator 10dB and a Forward Path Equaliser 8dB.

Attenuate - "to reduce (the amplitude of an electrical signal) with little or no distortion"
Equaliser - "electronic equipment that reduces frequency distortion"

The green box is at the side of the house so I suspect that the signal strength is really high and needs reducing, hence the attenuator. I guess that the equaliser is fitted to reduce the distortion caused by the attenuator.
