Duplex Service Dropcable, ABC Cable 70sqmm

APPLICATIONS

Primarily used for 120 volt overhead service applications such as street lighting, outdoor lighting, and temporary service for construction. To be used at voltages of 600 volts phase-to-phase or less and at conductor temperatures not to exceed 75º C for polyethylene insulated conductors or 90º C for crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) insulated conductors.

SPECIFICATIONS

Duplex 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).
B-399 Concentric-Lay-Stranded 6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy Conductors.
B-901 Compressed Round Stranded Aluminum Conductors Using Single Input Wire.

Duplex service drop cable meets or exceeds all applicable requirements of ANSI/ICEA S-76-474.

CONSTRUCTION

Conductors are concentrically stranded, compressed 1350-H19 aluminum. Insulated with either polyethylene or crosslinked
Polyethylene (XLP). Neutral messengers are concentrically stranded 6201, AAC, or ACSR.
