The present invention is directed to an enclosure having an outer shell, an inner subassembly slid into the outer shell, and a retractable cover movable between open and closed positions. Connector access cut-outs are defined in the outer shell. Due to the retractable cover and the connector access cut-outs, full access to the connectors housed in the enclosure is provided. The retractable cover also provides protection for those same connectors when desired. Thus, even though the number of connectors and cabling may increase, the difficulty in accessing them does not. Further, since the height of the enclosure of the present invention is approximately 51/4′, a greater number of enclosures may be mounted on a standard rack.
