I can't recall seeing that on the cal certificate of a 4284A which I had calibrated by Keysight. Not 100% sure. I managed to get a free option 006 (support for 4 m cables) from them, which might be very useful for a possible job I have coming up.
You can see the use of the box (or equivalent connections) for performance verification on pages 10-6 and 10-9 of the 4284A Operation Manual. It is used on a few other instruments too for performance verification, but I don't think it is used for the actual calibration/adjustment IIRC.
