Create Revenue Sooner with 30% Reduced Installation Costs
Nexans Offshore Junction Cabinets (OJC) improve revenue streams for offshore wind power developments – the cabinets are used as a disconnecting point for internal tower cable to external subsea array cables.
This can be used as a demarcation point between tower, transition piece and array cable related parties – Nexans OJC junction cable chambers enable earlier completion dates.
Onshore cabinets are available to be used as a disconnecting point for branching between grid and project.

"I woke recently and toyed with the idea of career change. One Costa later I just went for it.
So I Google searched 'cable jointer training'.
I booked that 4 day course, turned up, collected my certificate – I am now a Cable Jointer.
With paperwork to prove it.
Easy-peasy.
OK, this is a personal fiction but a common occurrence in the UK jobs market."

Date: 2002
Location: New Orleans USA
Jointing by: Campbell White Power Solutions
This project for New Orleans and Wilson Construction involved a 2500sqmm enamel stranded conductor work that required a rare skill set. Each stranded conductor has to be individually bead blasted and prepped for jointing - the cable circuit spanned the Mississippi River and was one of the few power components that survived Hurricane Katrina.
Campbell White are called upon globally for critical installs and repairs.
