The 
Conveyor Junction is used alongside several similar blocks to link inventories on a ship or station into a network. Once built, a conveyor system allows items and gasses to be easily transferred between the inventories of blocks, and can even automatically move items as needed.
In contrast to 
Conveyor Tubes and 
Conveyor Tube T Junctions, the Conveyor Junction connects in all six directions, at the cost of needing a few more components to be built. It is also fully airtight, unlike even 
Reinforced Conveyor Tubes.
Power
From release 1.196 on, power requirements of the conveyor system are not progressive based on length of lines anymore, but are constant 1W.
Trivia
In limited experimentation it has been found that a Conveyor Junction follows a pattern when checking where to dump inventory. If you orient a conveyor where the sides are all right side up, as shown by the label on each face, and the top has the writing on the far side, the conveyor will first try and dump right, then left, then to the back. This information can help with routing assembler inventory dumps to prevent pile up.
