Construction
Conductors
- Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum,
- Insulated with either polyethylene or crosslinked polyethylene.
- Neutral messengers are concentrically stranded ACSR.
- One conductor is manufactured with an extruded ridge or striped conductor for phase identification on quadruplex.
Application for Duplex
- Primarily used for 120-volt overhead service applications such as street lighting, outdoor lighting, and temporary service. To be used at voltages of 600 volts or less at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75° C.
Specification
- Service drop cable meets or exceeds the following ASTM specifications:
- B-230 Aluminum Wire, 1350-H19 for Electrical Purposes.
- B-231 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded
- B-232 Aluminum Conductors, Concentric-Lay-Stranded, Coated Steel Reinforced (ACSR)
Service drop cable meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of ICEA S-61-402 for polyethylene insulated conductors and ICEA S-66-524 for crosslinked polyethylene.
