Product Overview

Quadruplex Cable Aluminum Conductor Overhead Service Drop 600V is a neutral-supported overhead cable with three XLPE-insulated aluminium phase conductors and one bare neutral messenger, twisted in a quadruplex configuration. Phase conductors: 1350-H19 aluminium, solid or stranded. Neutral messenger: bare AAC, ACSR, or 6201-T81 alloy — the neutral carries both return current and the full mechanical tension of the overhead span. Quadruplex provides 120/208V three-phase four-wire service — the standard for multi-family residential buildings, small commercial services, and light industrial applications requiring 3-phase from an overhead drop.
