| | central junction box system | Explanation:
A literal translation, but not a commonly used term in English in this context.
A central junction box system for electrical wiring involves running wiring for each circuit (group) from the fuse/breaker panel to a 'central' junction box, from which branch wiring is connected to other junction boxes for outlets and light fixtures in a 'star' arrangement. The junction box for the ceiling light fixture is often used as the central junction box. This is a commonly used arrangement in the Netherlands, but not in the UK (where ring circuits are preferred, at least for domestic installations) and North America (where series wiring is used with a cable running from one junction box to the next for each group).
