1. An enclosure for retaining at least one active networking component, the enclosure comprising:
a shell forming a first chamber and a second chamber and including at least two lift securing members;
a dielectric fluid adapted to be disposed in the first chamber;
a mounting mechanism at least partially disposed within the first chamber, the mounting mechanism including at least one coupling member adapted to retain the at least one active networking component;
a lifting assembly removably coupled with the at least two lift securing members of the shell, the lifting assembly adapted to be positionable near the mounting mechanism to selectively insert the at least one networking component into the first chamber or remove the at least one networking component from the first chamber;
a coolant distribution line at least partially disposed within the first chamber of the shell, the coolant distribution line including an elongated member having at least one opening formed on a portion thereof;
a coolant circulator at least partially disposed within the shell, the coolant circulator adapted to circulate the dielectric fluid within the first chamber of the shell via the coolant distribution line;
wherein the mounting mechanism is adapted to be submerged in the dielectric fluid.
