Overhead Service Drop Cable / Overhead Service Wire

Reliable Aerial Power Solutions for Residential and Commercial Applications

We are a leading overhead service drop cable supplier, offering high-quality triplex, duplex, and quadruplex cables designed for durable and cost-effective overhead power delivery. Commonly known as Overhead Service Wire, these cables are widely used for utility-to-home and utility-to-building power connections.

Aluminum overhead cables are used outdoors in distribution facilities.They carry the power from the utility lines to the buildings through the weather head. Based on this particular function, the cables are also described as service drop cables. Aluminum overhead cables include duplex, triplex, and quadruplex varieties. Duplex cables are used in single-phase power lines, whereas quadruplex cables are used in the three-phase power lines. Triplex cables are exclusively used to carry power from the utility lines to customers. Aluminum conductor cables are made of soft 1350-H19 aluminum series. They are insulated with an extruded thermoplastic polyethylene or cross-linked polyethylene for protection from problematic outdoor environmental conditions. The cables are designed with an operational temperature of up to 75 degrees and a voltage rating of 600 volts.

What is Overhead Service Wire?

Overhead Service Wire, also referred to as Overhead Service Drop Cable, is the aerial cable used to carry electricity from the utility pole to the service entrance of a home or business. While “drop cable” is the technical term, many electricians, contractors, and users search for or refer to it as service wire.

These cables are typically aluminum conductors with insulation, designed to withstand outdoor conditions, mechanical tension, and UV exposure.

Available Cable Types

Common overhead service wire sizes range from 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG, with variations in conductor strand count and insulation type based on your project needs.
