Type & Description 

Types and Applications of XLPE insulated abc cable (service drop)

Duplex Service Drop To supply 120 volt aerial service for temporary service at construction sites,outdoor or street lighting. For service at 600 volts or lower at a conductor temperature of 75 maximum.

Triplex Service Drop To supply power from the utility`s lines to the consumer`s weather head. For service at 600 volts or less (phase to phase) at a conductor temperature of 75 maximum for PE insulation or 90 maximum for XLPE insulation.

Quadruplex Service Drop Used to supply 3 phase power , usually from a pole-mounted transformer to the use`s service head where connection to the service entrance  cable is made . To be used at  voltages of 600 volts or  less phase to phase and at conductor temperature not to exceed 75 for PE insulated conductors  or 90 for XLPE insulated conductors.
