Barkley Canyon Mid-West Junction Box Deployed 2012-06-02

The OceanWorks Junction Box JB-04 was deployed on 2012-06-02 at Barkley Canyon Mid-West. Barkley Canyon Mid-West is a location in Barkley Canyon near a canyon wall. At this location, benthic processes, biodiversity, and sediment dynamics 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 JB-04型接线盒（Junction Box）于2012年6月2日部署于巴克利峡谷中西部（Barkley Canyon Mid-West）。巴克利峡谷中西部（Barkley Canyon Mid-West）是巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）内靠近峡谷岩壁的一处观测点位，该区域的底栖过程、生物多样性及沉积物动力学均为观测研究内容。本设备为接线盒，可为已部署的各类仪器提供电力供应与通信链路支持。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及高压仪器。此外，接线盒可将高压电能转换为多数仪器所需的低压等级（15V、24V或48V）。该设备部署于固定平台之上。本次部署产生的观测数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外开放共享；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量保证工作，并生成衍生数据产品。
