The junction box of the present invention allows a user to couple multiple electronic devices to a primary electronic device. The junction box includes a housing assembly made up of an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing fits over the lower housing so as to form an enclosure. A seal assembly forms a seal between the upper housing and the lower housing. The upper housing extends outward on one side so as to form an overhanging portion and an opening. The overhanging portion, along with the seal assembly prevents fluids, dust and foreign particles from entering the enclosure. A circuit board is disposed in the enclosure that is coupled to a primary electrical cable. The primary electrical cable connects to the back of a primary electronic device. Electronic devices that are to be coupled to the primary electronic device are coupled to the junction box via cables that connect to each electrical device and connect to the circuit board. These electrical cables extend through the opening and under the overhanging portion of the upper housing.
