This comes from a specifications document. The section quoted deals with instructions for telecommunications installations. My question is this: what does "cuvette de branchement" mean? Apart from this instance, the term occurs nowhere else in the doument.

junction chamber
A cuvette de branchement is a "hopper" for rainwater downpipes, where two pipes feed into one, and is also a kind of pre-terminalled junction box for electrical systems, where, as far as I can make out, one cable is connected to several others (or vice versa).
In your case it would appear to be neither, and since it has a concrete slab on top of it, I imagine it is a concrete chamber, akin to the chambres de tirage also mentioned, going under a fancy name. I would probably call a "junction chamber".

Note from asker:
| Hi, this answer looks very promising. I typed 'cable junction chamber' and followed up a few leads on the internet. I have a sense that the 'cuvette de branchement' in this case is some sort of convergence point in the system, with access for the engineers to see what's going on there. Would you have any opinion on the appropriateness of Chris Collister's suggestion? I follwoed up 'cable pit' too, but this seems to be a more general term that could apply to many structures. |

cable pit
Not so much an inspection pit (regard) as somewhere under the ground where the HT and LT (or telecomms) cables can be physically connected.
