Abstract
A readily-removable protective modular enclosure (50) houses a plurality of utility conduits (42) which bridge a zoned annular volume (40) disposed between a turbine engine's core (20) and fan case (30) zones, the bridging utility conduits (42) completing a three-zoned wiring harness originating on the engine's fan case (30) and terminating at a plurality of engine core terminals (24). The enclosure (50) also houses a branching interface (70) through which a utility flow, originating at either the fan case (30) or engine core (20), is directed to a dedicated outgoing utility conduit (32, 22) which services a specific zone (100).
