Planned to be developed offshore Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the NOK2bn ($236m) Hywind pilot park is said to be the largest of its kind.
Under the approximately €10.2m contract, Nexans will deliver and install the cables at the wind farm.
Nexans will manufacture and test the cables at its facility in Halden, Norway, prior to the delivery. The cables are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2017.
Expected to pave way to new markets for renewable energy production across the globe, the wind farm will feature five floating turbines installed on floating structures at Buchan Deep, 25km offshore Peterhead.
Nexans high voltage and underwater cable business group senior executive vice-president Dirk Steinbrink said: "This project is a great example of Nexans pioneering alternative offshore wind design, extending the options for renewable energy generation.
"We are proud to be able to support Statoil as it helps the Scottish government realize its commitment to 100% renewable energy by 2020."
Planned to be commissioned in late 2017, the Hywind project designed to generate green energy required to power about 20,000 homes.
Following testing for an initial two-year period, the project is expected to lead the way to developing larger floating wind farms in other areas.
