Abstract
An outside plant equipment enclosure for housing telecommunications equipment, which normally operates when the equipment enclosure is closed, is provided. The enclosure includes an internal compartment for storing telecommunications equipment, at least one opening in the internal compartment and a hydrophobic material. The at least one opening defines substantially the entire area of the internal compartment which is open to an outer atmosphere when the telecommunications equipment is normally operating. The hydrophobic material entirely covers every opening of the at least one opening.
