2/0-2/0-2/0 Triplex Aluminum Overhead Service Drop Cable (Runcina)

"The industry standard for high-capacity 120/240V single-phase overhead utility drops, commercial power feeds, and temporary jobsite distribution requiring a full-size neutral messenger. Engineered for dependable 600V aerial power delivery from utility lines to building weatherheads, this 3-conductor triplex cable features two 2/0 AWG insulated aluminum phase conductors, weather-resistant XLP insulation, and a heavy-duty bare 2/0 AWG steel-reinforced ACSR neutral messenger built to withstand severe environmental strain."

Key Features & Benefits: 2/0 Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable

The 2/0-2/0-2/0 Runcina Triplex Cable is designed for high-amp overhead single-phase 120/240V secondary power distribution requiring a full-size neutral conductor to handle heavy unbalanced loads or utility requirements. Designed to span long overhead distances from utility pole transformers to residential weatherheads and commercial service masts, it provides a robust, sag-resistant solution for main service drops and temporary construction power feeds.

By pairing two 7-strand 1350-H19 series 2/0 AWG aluminum phase conductors with a heavy-duty 2/0 AWG ACSR neutral messenger, Runcina triplex delivers 235-amp capacity with maximum mechanical break strength. The 60-mil cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation offers superior protection against UV rays, freezing rain, and severe atmospheric wear.

• 600V Aerial Reliability: Rated for continuous 120/240V aerial service (up to 600V max phase-to-phase) at conductor temperatures up to 90°C with XLP insulation.

• Full-Size ACSR Messenger: Features a matching 2/0 AWG 6/1 steel-reinforced ACSR neutral messenger delivering 5,310 lbs of breaking strength to prevent sag and withstand severe ice, wind, and long-span mechanical loads.

• Thick 60-Mil Weather-Resistant XLP: Heavy-duty black cross-linked polyethylene insulation prevents UV degradation, cracking, and moisture damage in high-exposure outdoor environments.

• Cut to Length by the Foot: Order only the exact span length needed for your project, eliminating jobsite waste and unused spools.
