Aluminum Overhead Insulated Cable ABC Quadruplex Service Drop Cable

Quadruplex service drop cable Construction:

constructed with three aluminum conductors, black extruded cross-linked polyethylene insulation, and a bare aluminum neutral.

Conductors: concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum.

Insulation: Insulated with either polyethylene or crosslinked polyethylene (XLP).

Neutral messengers: concentrically stranded 6201, AAC, or ACSR.

Core identification: Conductors are manufactured with ridges for phase identification (one conductor one ridge, one conductor two ridges, one conductor plain.)

Quadruplex service drop cable application:

Used to supply 3 phase power, usually from a pole mounted transformer or secondary power line to the user’s service head where connection to the service entrance cable is made.

Quadruplex service drop cable features:

The black extruded cross-linked polyethylene insulation can protect the cable from temperatures as high as 90°C. The XLPE insulation also ensures this service drop wire is protected against a variety of outside forces including weather, abrasion, chemicals, cutting, and tearing. This allows for continued use of triplex wire in various harsh outdoor environments.
