Nexans WINDLINK enclosures for offshore wind farms aim to reduce installation time on site as well as offering considerable cost savings. The available range of offshore junction cabinets (OJC) and frames for use in turbine towers, along with the ability to manufacture and supply pre-terminated leads offer considerable cost saving compared to traditional cable installation in the towers.
For offshore wind farms, the Nexans offshore junction cabinet/chamber can be used as a connection point for tower cables to subsea array cables. This can be used as a demarcation point between tower / transition piece and/or array cable responsible parties.
