Product Overview

Duplex Cable Aluminum Conductor Overhead Service Drop 600V is a neutral-supported overhead service drop cable in duplex (two-conductor) configuration. Phase conductor: concentrically stranded 1350-H19 aluminum, insulated with UV-resistant black XLPE or PE. Neutral messenger: bare conductor that serves double duty — carrying return current AND supporting the cable's entire mechanical span load between the utility pole and the building attachment point. Available with three neutral messenger types to suit different span length and strength requirements: AAC (all-aluminum, 1350-H19), AAAC (6201-T81 alloy, ~80% stronger), and ACSR (steel-reinforced, ~110% stronger than AAC).

Neutral Messenger Selection: AAC vs AAAC vs ACSR

Messenger Type	Material	Strength vs AAC	Corrosion	Best For
AAC	1350-H19 Al	Reference (100%)	Good	Short spans, coastal areas
AAAC	6201-T81 Al alloy	~80% stronger	Excellent	Medium-long spans, all environments
ACSR	1350-H19 Al + steel core	~110% stronger	Good (galvanized steel)	Longest spans, heavy ice/wind

Cable Construction

1. Phase Conductor — Stranded compacted circular aluminium
2. Insulation — XLPE (UV-resistant)
3. Messenger Conductor — AAC / AAAC / ACSR

Reference data note: Factory source lists generic technical data (0.6/1kV rating, 4kV test) — this is a 600V service drop cable per ICEA S-76-474, not an MV cable.

Applicable Standards

Standard	Scope
ASTM B-230	1350-H19 aluminum wire for electrical purposes. Governs AAC phase and neutral conductor properties.
ASTM B-231	Concentric-lay-stranded aluminum conductors (AAC). Governs stranding of phase and AAC neutral.
ASTM B-232	ACSR conductor specification. Governs steel-reinforced neutral messenger construction.
ASTM B-399	6201-T81 aluminum alloy conductors (AAAC). Governs alloy neutral messenger properties.
ICEA S-76-474	Neutral-supported power cable assemblies rated 600V. The primary standard for duplex service drop cable.

Code word system: ANSI/ICEA S-76-474 assigns a unique code word (dog breed name) to each conductor size × neutral configuration × neutral material combination. "Pekingese 6-6" = 6 AWG phase with 6 AWG AAC neutral, "Setter 6-6" = same phase with ACSR neutral. Code words eliminate ambiguity in utility procurement — specifying "Spaniel drop" on a purchase order is uniquely defined.
