A telecommunications enclosure comprising:
- a housing including a length that extends along a first axis, a width that extends along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, and a depth that extends along a third axis that is perpendicular to the first and second axes, the housing including first and second opposite ends separated by the length and first and second opposite sides separated by the width, the housing also including a front and a back separated by the depth, wherein the first and second opposite sides are concave along the length of the housing when viewed from the front or back of the housing such that a mid-region of the housing defines a waist of the housing;
- the housing including a base having a rear wall that defines the back of the housing, the base also including first and second end walls that project forwardly from the rear wall and define the first and second ends of the housing, the base including a front edge defining a front opening of the base, the front edge being defined by the first and second end walls along the width of the housing adjacent the first and second opposite ends of the housing, the front edge extending along the length of the housing adjacent the first and second opposite sides of the housing, the front edge defining a first depth dimension with respect to the rear wall at the first and second opposite ends of the housing and defining a second depth dimension with respect to the rear wall at the first and second sides of the housing, the first depth dimension being at least 3 times as large as the second depth dimension;
- a front cover having a rear edge that is bonded to the front edge of the base;
- and
- at least one cable port location at each of the first and second opposite ends of the housing.
