"The industry standard for high-capacity 3-phase overhead utility drops, commercial service entrances, and heavy industrial temporary power distribution requiring 19-strand phase conductors and a full-size steel-reinforced neutral messenger. Engineered for reliable 600V aerial power delivery from pole-mounted utility transformers to building service masts and weatherheads, this 4-conductor quadruplex cable features three 336.4 MCM insulated aluminum phase conductors, weather-resistant XLP insulation, and a matching bare 336.4 MCM 18/1 steel-reinforced ACSR neutral messenger designed to handle maximum structural tension and environmental strain."
Key Features & Benefits: 336.4 MCM Quadruplex Overhead Service Drop Cable
The 336.4 MCM Bronco Quadruplex Cable is built for industrial-capacity 3-phase overhead secondary power distribution requiring a full-size neutral conductor to manage heavy unbalanced loads or utility requirements. Designed to span long overhead distances from pole transformers to building service entrances, it provides a sag-resistant, dependable solution for commercial power drops, outbuildings, and major temporary jobsite distribution.
By combining three 19-strand 1350-H19 series 336.4 MCM aluminum phase conductors with a heavy-duty 336.4 MCM 18/1 ACSR neutral messenger, Bronco quadruplex delivers a 370-amp free-air capacity with 8,580 lbs of breaking strength. The extra-thick 80-mil cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation offers long-lasting resistance against severe UV rays, freezing rain, and harsh environmental exposure.
600V 3-Phase Aerial Reliability: Rated for continuous 3-phase aerial service up to 600V phase-to-phase at conductor operating temperatures up to 90°C with XLP insulation.
Full-Size ACSR Neutral Messenger: Features a matching 336.4 MCM 18/1 steel-reinforced ACSR bare neutral messenger delivering 8,580 lbs of breaking strength to prevent sagging and withstand severe wind and ice loads.
80-Mil Weather-Resistant XLP Insulation: Extra-thick black cross-linked polyethylene insulation protects against UV degradation, moisture, and ambient temperature swings in harsh outdoor environments.
Cut to Length by the Foot: Order only the exact span length needed for your project, eliminating jobsite waste and unused spools.
