The Quadruplex Service Drop Cable manufactured by Zhongdong Cable is designed for low-voltage overhead service connections requiring higher conductor capacity and improved power supply reliability. It is commonly used between utility distribution lines and residential, commercial, and small industrial electrical service entrances.
The cable consists of four insulated aluminium conductors twisted together, typically including three phase conductors and one neutral conductor. The compact twisted structure provides a practical solution for three-phase low-voltage overhead connections while reducing installation complexity and improving safety compared with traditional open conductors.
With durable insulation and lightweight aluminium conductors, Quadruplex Service Drop Cable offers reliable performance in outdoor environments exposed to UV radiation, moisture, and changing weather conditions.

Quadruplex Service Drop Cable is mainly used for three-phase low-voltage overhead service connections between utility poles and customer premises, including commercial buildings, farms, and small industrial facilities.
It consists of four insulated aluminium conductors, normally configured as three phase conductors and one neutral conductor for three-phase power supply systems.
Yes. The cable is designed for aerial installation and can withstand outdoor conditions such as sunlight, rain, humidity, and temperature variations when installed according to requirements.
XLPE insulation is commonly used for its higher temperature rating and better ageing resistance. PE insulation can also be selected for specific project requirements.
For XLPE insulated Quadruplex Service Drop Cable, the maximum continuous conductor operating temperature is typically 90°C.
The cable is installed overhead using suitable service clamps, suspension fittings, and connectors. Installation accessories should be selected according to cable size and local requirements.
Yes. The insulated twisted structure provides improved safety by reducing the risk of accidental contact and short circuits compared with traditional bare conductors.
