The Triplex Service Drop Cable manufactured by Zhongdong Cable is designed for low-voltage overhead service connections between utility distribution lines and residential, commercial, and small industrial electrical installations.
The cable consists of three insulated aluminium conductors twisted together, typically including two phase conductors and one neutral conductor. The compact aerial structure provides a reliable and economical solution for single-phase overhead power supply systems while reducing installation complexity compared with traditional open conductors.
With weather-resistant insulation and lightweight aluminium conductors, Triplex Service Drop Cable provides stable performance for outdoor installations exposed to sunlight, moisture, and changing environmental conditions.

Duplex Service Drop Cable contains two conductors, normally one phase and one neutral, while Triplex Service Drop Cable contains two phase conductors and one neutral conductor for single-phase three-wire systems.
It is mainly used for connecting utility overhead lines to residential buildings, commercial facilities, and other low-voltage customers.
Yes. The cable is designed for aerial installation and uses weather-resistant insulation suitable for long-term outdoor exposure.
Aluminium offers lower weight and cost while providing sufficient electrical performance for overhead service applications.
XLPE is commonly selected for higher temperature capability and improved ageing resistance, while PE can be used for specific application requirements.
XLPE insulated Triplex Service Drop Cable is generally rated for continuous conductor operation up to 90°C.
Common accessories include service clamps, connectors, suspension fittings, and pole mounting hardware selected according to installation conditions.
