Corrosion resistant telecommunications enclosure

1. A telecommunications closure comprising:

a housing including an external metallic portion subject to corrosion;

at least one cable port;

a coating over the external metallic portion of the closure subject to corrosion;

a bumper positioned around a portion of the closure, the bumper leaving at least a portion of the closure exposed for heat removal, the bumper also defining a first opening through which the at least one cable port is accessible from an exterior of the housing, the bumper also defining a second opening; and

a galvanic anode secured to the closure and accessible at an exterior of the housing through the second opening defined in the bumper; and

electronic circuitry disposed within or disposable within an interior of the closure, the electronic circuitry being active electronic circuitry;

wherein the closure is watertight and configured to prevent water from entering the interior.

2. The closure of claim 1 , wherein the coating includes an overmolding of the closure.

3. The closure of claim 1 , further comprising cables extending to and from the closure.

4. The closure of claim 1 , further comprising an underground container for receiving the sealed closure.

5. A closure for telecommunications circuitry comprising:

a base having a sidewall extending upwardly from a bottom, the sidewall defining at least one cable port;

a cover that attaches to the base to close an interior of the closure;

a galvanic anode removably secured directly to the sidewall of the base to be moved in unison with the base; and

electronic circuitry disposed within the interior of the closure, the electronic circuitry being active electronic circuitry.

6. The closure of claim 5 , further comprising a coating adhered to the base and the cover.

7. The closure of claim 6 , wherein the coating includes epoxy.

8. The closure of claim 5 , further comprising a bumper positioned around the sidewall of the base.

9. The closure of claim 8 , wherein the bumper surrounds the closure and has at least one opening for exposing a surface of the closure for heat removal.

10. A closure for telecommunications circuitry comprising:

a base having a sidewall extending upwardly from a bottom, the sidewall defining at least one cable port;

a cover that attaches to the base to close an interior of the closure;

a coating adhered to the base and the cover, the coating being a corrosion resistant material;

a bumper positioned around the sidewall of the base to surround the closure;

a galvanic anode removably secured to the sidewall of the base; and

electronic circuitry disposed within the interior of the closure, the electronic circuitry being active electronic circuitry;

wherein the closure is watertight and configured to prevent water from entering the interior of the base.

11. The closure of claim 10 , wherein the base, cover, and galvanic anode are metal, and wherein the galvanic anode is a less noble metal than both the base and the cover.

12. The closure of claim 10 , wherein the galvanic anode includes zinc.

13. The closure of claim 10 , wherein the galvanic anode includes magnesium.

14. The closure of claim 10 , wherein the bumper is removable from the base.

15. The closure of claim 10 , wherein the bumper is rubberized.

16. The closure of claim 10 , wherein the bumper has at least one opening for exposing a surface of the closure for heat removal.

17. The closure of claim 10 , wherein the coating includes epoxy.

18. A method for assembling a corrosion resistant telecommunications closure comprising:

providing a cover and a base having a sidewall extending upwardly from a bottom, the sidewall defining at least one cable port;

providing a coating over the base and the cover including a corrosion resistant material;

providing a galvanic anode to the sidewall of the base;

disposing electronic circuitry within the interior of the closure, the electronic circuitry being active electronic circuitry;

securing the cover to the base to close an interior of the closure;

positioning a bumper around the sidewall of the base, the bumper defining an opening to expose the galvanic anode.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the base, the cover, and the galvanic anode are metal, and wherein the galvanic anode is a less noble metal than both the base and the cover.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the galvanic anode includes at least one of zinc and magnesium.

21. The method of claim 19 , further comprising stretching the bumper around the sidewall of the base.
