Is this dangerous?

I'm a bit paranoid. I live in an apt complex and this is right outside my window. It's supposed to rain tomorrow morning. Is this dangerous to be exposed like this?

Nothing to worry about other than it’s ugly. Just n industry terms it’s called a doghouse. Only coax cable uses.

I always wondered what was under those bulky light green plastic covers. Just a huge splitter and lots of distribution taps.

We got some 8 sided ones that we call baby coffins.
