Abstract
A fiber optic node includes an electronics equipment enclosure. The electronics equipment enclosure includes a lid, a base, and at least one side wall defining an interior space of the electronics equipment enclosure. The fiber optic node further includes an optical receiver mounted within the interior space of the electronics equipment enclosure. The at least one side wall is coupled to the lid, the base, or both the lid and the base. The at least one side wall is formed of at least a semi-permeable fabric mesh. The semi-permeable fabric mesh includes a rigid mesh screen and a semi-permeable membrane coupled to the rigid mesh screen for convection of heat generated within the interior space by the optical receiver to outside the electronics equipment enclosure.
