Main Endeavour Field Junction Box Deployed 2017-05-03

The OceanWorks Junction Box JB-05 was deployed on 2017-05-03 at Main Endeavour Field. Main Endeavour Field is a vent field located at Endeavour Ridge, where hydrothermal vent systems are observed. This device is a Junction Box. Junction Boxes supply power and communications to deployed instruments. Junction boxes have a number of serial and ethernet ports, including 400V ethernet ports that enable connections to other junction boxes and high-voltage instruments. Junction boxes can convert high voltages to lower voltages (15V, 24V or 48V) required by many instruments. It was deployed on a fixed platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

OceanWorks品牌的JB-05型接线盒（Junction Box）于2017年5月3日部署于主奋进热液喷口区（Main Endeavour Field）。主奋进热液喷口区位于奋进海岭（Endeavour Ridge），区域内已观测到热液喷口系统。本装置为接线盒，可为部署的观测仪器提供电力供应与通信链路。接线盒配备多组串行端口与以太网端口，其中包含400V以太网端口，可用于连接其他接线盒与高压观测仪器。该类装置可将高压转换为多数仪器所需的低压（15V、24V或48V）。本次部署的接线盒搭载于固定式平台之上。本部署产生的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外共享；所有数据均遵循既定规范完成质量管控，并提供衍生数据产品。
