ABSTRACT:
A network unit enclosure adapted for exposure to humidity and airborne contaminants defines a sealed first chamber and an adjacent second chamber. The two chambers are sealingly separated by a circuitry substrate on which electronic components are mounted in the first chamber and through which conductor connection means in the second chamber are connected to electronic components in the first chamber. An outer wall bordering the second chamber includes a hole for providing an electrical cable feedthrough. The enclosure may also define a third chamber, and a wall separating the first and third chamber including a sealed feedthrough for an optical fiber segment connected at one end to an opto-electronic component in the first chamber and the other end for connection to an optical fiber from an optical cable passed through an access hole in an outer wall bordering the third chamber.
