Spanish term or phrase: caseta de empalmes
From specifications for oil field equipment, specifically "bomba electro-sumergible (BES)":

Talking about making "empalmes" (splices, I believe) in power cables:

"Kit empalme de cable de potencia para pozos donde no se requiere empaque en fondo ..."

"El PROPONENTE deberá contar con una caseta de empalmes durante la instalación de los equipos. La COMPAÑÍA suministrará la energía eléctrica para su funcionamiento."
