Abstract
A cabinet includes a first compartment for housing electronic equipment, such as equipment used to provide telephone service and/or voice and data networking services. The front of the equipment housed in the first compartment is accessible via at least one door. The cabinet also includes a second compartment accessible by a second door, on an opposite side of the cabinet. The second compartment is for housing a connection panel, which allows subscriber lines to be connected to provider lines and/or terminals of the electronic equipment. A partitioning wall separates the first and second compartments and includes an access port communicating the first and second compartments. When the connection panel is moved, e.g. pivoted by use of a hinge, a service technician can gain access to the rear of the electronic equipment housed in the first compartment via the access port. An access panel can be used to close the access port so that the temperature and/or humidity of the first compartment can be regulated, as compared to the conditions in the second compartment and outside of the cabinet.
