Frontier has similar cabinets for their FTTx build.

Here’s another Streetview image, this cabinet is in Harding, IL so probably 
belongs to Surf Internet since they have FTTH in town.

There used to be a company named Tunnel Mill that made vault / cabinet base 
combos - the pricing wasn't terrible (as these things go). It looks like 
they've significantly revamped their product lineup, however.

The usual suspects are DDB Unlimited and American Products. There are others as 
well. They can add slack storage boxes onto the cabinets for sure. 



They're never cheap. You could build a building for what a cabinet costs. 
They're really for when you need the small footprint, or for the logistical 
simplicity of dropping a cabinet on a pad vs everything you need to go through 
for constructing a building. You also get electrical pre-wired and HVAC built 
in, so it can eliminate having to get an HVAC contractor and reduce the scope 
of work for an electrician to just hooking up the service drop. If your capital 
is cheaper than your labor, then cabinets are great. 



If you abandon rack mount and go to panel or DIN mounted hardware, then you can 
get industrial controls enclosures for $hundreds rather than $thousands. This 
is the direction I went when the budget was tighter.

Indeed, it would be nice to have a source for an affordable version of this, or 
something close that costs less than a used Hyundai.
