The 0.6/1kV two core ABC cable manufactured by Zhongdong Cable is designed for low-voltage overhead distribution networks. It consists of two insulated aluminium conductors with UV-resistant XLPE insulation, providing a safe and reliable solution for aerial power supply applications.
Compared with traditional bare overhead conductors, ABC cable offers improved safety, reduced risk of short circuits, and better resistance to environmental conditions. The compact bundled structure also helps simplify installation in residential areas, rural networks, and low-voltage distribution systems.

ABC cable provides better safety by reducing the risk of accidental contact, short circuits, and faults caused by trees or weather conditions.
Yes. The XLPE insulation is designed for outdoor use and provides good resistance against UV exposure, moisture, and temperature changes.
The XLPE insulation allows continuous conductor operation up to 90°C, with short-circuit temperature up to 250°C for 5 seconds.
The cable is normally installed on poles using suitable clamps and accessories. Proper installation tension should be controlled to avoid excessive mechanical stress.
The recommended minimum bending radius is generally 10 × overall cable diameter during installation to prevent damage to insulation.
Yes. Its lightweight structure and simple installation make it widely used for rural electrification and extended low-voltage overhead networks.
