It can be both but its you cant tell from the outside. In the "early days" of the FTTC/DSLAM Rollout the German Telekom used to construct the outdoor_dslam cabinets on top of the old cable distribution cabinets (modulo the real casing).

This page has an Image of an outdoor_dslam casing with the cable distribution part left intact. http://internet-lippinghausen.de/ You can see the construction process from de-casing the old distribution cabinet and fitting the new outdoor_dslam casing around.
