ABC Cable 3x95+70+16mm² is a low-voltage aerial bundled conductor designed primarily for overhead power distribution in residential, urban, and rural networks. This type of cable significantly reduces the risk of bushfires and enhances reliability and safety in areas with dense vegetation or fire-prone environments.
Manufactured according to French Standard NFC 33-209, the cable consists of three phase conductors, one neutral messenger, and one public lighting conductor, all insulated with UV-resistant XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene). It is designed for installations where low cost, high safety, and easy installation are key priorities. Best suited for short spans due to its bundled weight.
Applications
Overhead power distribution in residential and rural areas
Networks requiring low voltage (0.6/1kV) aerial installation
Areas at risk of wildfires or bushfires
Street lighting circuits with integrated public lighting core
Environments where UV, heat, and weather resistance are critical
Standards
NFC 33-209 – French National Standard for Aerial Bundled Conductors
IEC 60502-1 (as applicable for insulation and voltage rating)
