An expandable, modular electronic equipment enclosure ( 8 ) for telecommunications, signaling, or other electronic equipment, wherein the enclosure ( 8 ) includes male and female expansion interfaces ( 20,22 ) that allow for expanding the enclosure ( 8 ) by adding substantially similar modules ( 110,210 ) whenever increased capacity is needed. Broadly, each module ( 10 ) includes a housing body ( 12 ); a lid ( 14 ); a base ( 16 ); the male and female expansion interfaces ( 20,22 ); and a cap ( 24 ). A single cable interface and pressurization control componentry ( 18 ) serves all of the modules ( 10,110,210 ) of the enclosure ( 8 ). To expand the enclosure ( 8 ), the male or female expansion interface ( 120,122 ) of a subsequent module ( 110 ) is interfaced or mated with the corresponding exposed, unmated female or male expansion interface ( 20,22 ) of a preceding module ( 10 ). The cap ( 24 ) seals and protects the exposed, unmated expansion interface ( 120,122 ) of the last or end module ( 110 ) of the enclosure ( 8 ).
