. Detaild Introduction of Service Drop Cable
3.1 Duplex Service Drop

Applications
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.

Construction
Concentic strand or cmpressed 1350-H19 conductor, polyethylene or cross linked polyethylene insulation, concentric strand AAC, ACSR, or 6201 alloy nertral messenger.

3.2 Triplex Service Drop
Applications
To supply power from the ulility`s lines to the consumer`s weatherhead. 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.

Construction
Concentic strand or cmpressed 1350-H19 conductor, polyethylene or cross linked polyethylene insulation, concentric strand AAC, ACSR, or 6201 alloy nertral messenger.

3.3 Quadruplex Service Drop
Applications
Used to supply 3 phase power, usually from a pole-mounted transformer to the use`s servic head where connection to the service entance 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.

Construction
Conductors are concentrically standed, compressed 1350-H19 aluminium. Insulated with either polyethylene or XLPE. Neutral messengers aer concentrically stranded 6210 AAAC, AAC or ACSR.
