"Street cabinet" has no meaning in my region. Looking at manufacturer's sites and google images, I do see the term in use in Britain (and some other places) for above ground enclosures with vertical hinged doors. Did you also mean to include above ground enclosures without hinged doors and subsurface enclosures with a surface door? In the U.S. all types are probably most commonly known as utility boxes. Utility box has other meanings, so is ambiguous, but on a map would likely be interpreted correctly Perhaps someone could chime in with the British term covering all the variations?
