A novel weatherproof electrical component enclosure incorporates swappable internal module configurations for several types of network devices, wherein each internal module embodies standardized dimensions and standardized attachment elements for seamless internal device swap in-and-out compatibilities within the same weatherproof enclosure. Examples of novel swappable internal modules for the novel weatherproof electrical component enclosure include a fanned Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch, a fan-less PoE switch, a network router, and a wireless base station, all of which are simply swappable in and out of the weatherproof enclosure. The novel weatherproof electrical component enclosure also uniquely incorporates a customer's component hotel space as a weatherproof storage of customer-specific private accessory devices, in addition to housing factory-packaged original equipment which the weatherproof electrical component enclosure is originally designed to encase. The swappable modularity of internal components in the weatherproof enclosure reduces outdoor network equipment design constraints, manufacturing costs, and network implementation and maintenance costs.

An apparatus for an electrical equipment enclosure with tubular and/or multi-hole gland weatherproofing of electrical connections is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, one or more weatherproofing tubes and/or one or more multi-hole glands attached to the lid incorporating one or more openings are configured to serve as passageways for one or more electrical lines which need to stay weatherproof, watertight, and/or splash-proof from external elements. Furthermore, in one embodiment of the invention, one or more clusters of electrical connectors inside the electrical equipment enclosure receive a portion of the one or more electrical lines passing through one or more openings and one or more weatherproofing tubes and/or multi-hole glands. The apparatus as embodied by the present invention provides a reliable, durable and cost-effective weatherproof electrical equipment enclosure design.

An adjustable-voltage Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch provides data signals and output electrical powers to a multiple number of output PoE ports. The adjustable-voltage PoE switch has an output voltage-adjusting interface, allowing a user to select a specific power level or a specific output voltage for the particular output PoE port. The adjustable-voltage PoE can also include a conventional IEEE 802.3af-compliant power mode for further utilizing PoE in communicating and powering up external devices. A plurality of light indicators corresponding to the multiple number of output PoE ports provides further convenience by indicating a specific power level or a specific output voltage for a particular output PoE port using a particular color in each color-changing light indicator.
