Abstract
A pressure balanced cable junction or termination box is provided for subsea use. A fluid tight hollow body member is filled with insulating fluid. A-cable to be terminated enters one side of the cable termination device and is coupled to the box. A compressible fluid reservoir in contact with the external water pressure on one side transmits the pressure to the filling insulating fluid on the other side to provide pressure balancing.
