Corrosion resistant telecommunications enclosure

1. A closure comprising:

a housing including an external metallic portion subject to corrosion, the housing including a cover that attaches to a base to close an interior of the closure;

a plurality of cable ports;

a removable bumper that includes a shape which surrounds the closure, wherein the bumper has at least one opening for exposing a surface of the closure for heat removal; and

electronic circuitry disposed within or disposable within the interior of the closure;

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

2. The closure of claim 1 , further comprising a coating over the external metallic portion of the closure subject to corrosion.

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

4. The closure of claim 2 , wherein the coating includes epoxy.

5. The closure of claim 1 , further comprising a galvanic anode secured to the closure.

6. The closure of claim 5 , wherein the housing includes base having a sidewall extending upwardly from a bottom, wherein the galvanic anode is removably secured to the sidewall of the base.

7. The closure of claim 1 , further comprising a galvanic anode secured to the closure, wherein the housing includes the base having a sidewall extending upwardly from a bottom, the sidewall defining the plurality of cable ports, 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.

8. The closure of claim 1 , wherein the base has a sidewall extending upwardly from a bottom, the bumper being positioned around the sidewall of the base.

9. The closure of claim 1 , wherein the bumper is rubberized.

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

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

12. The closure of claim 1 , wherein the electronic circuitry is active electronic circuitry.

13. The closure of claim 12 , wherein the electronic circuitry is configured to convert between optical signals and electrical signals.

14. A method for assembling a corrosion resistant 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;

disposing electronic circuitry within the interior of the closure;

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

positioning a bumper around the sidewall of the base, the bumper surrounding a periphery of the base.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising providing a galvanic anode attached to the sidewall of the base.

16. The method of claim 15 , 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.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the galvanic anode includes at least one of zinc and magnesium.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the galvanic anode is removable.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the electronic circuitry is active electronic circuitry.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the electronic circuitry is configured to convert between optical signals and electrical signals.
