J-tubes support and protect cables between the bottom of the sea and the top part of the offshore wind foundation, where they are connected to the substation or the offshore wind turbine. J-tubes provide the necessary protection of the cables and are an essential part of any offshore wind foundation structure. The product consists of steel tubes which are bent into the required J or S shape to make up the full length of a J-tube.
