Enclosure for telecommunications equipment

摘要

An enclosure (10) for protecting and dissipating heat from telecommunications repeaters (12). The enclosure includes a plurality of card-receiving sleeves (14) for receiving repeater cards; at least one heat sink manifold (16) in contact with the sleeves for conducting heat from the sleeves; at least one outer panel (28) in contact with the heat sink manifold for conducting heat from the manifold; a removable cover (40) configured for sliding over the outer panel to protect the cards from exposure to the elements; and at least one biasing mechanism (112) operably coupled with the outer panel for biasing the outer panel into physical contact with the cover when the cover is placed thereover to improve conduction of heat from the outer panel to the cover.
