4/0-4/0-4/0-4/0 Quadruplex Aluminum Overhead Service Drop Cable (Appaloosa)

"The industry standard for high-capacity 3-phase overhead utility drops, commercial service entrances, and heavy-duty temporary jobsite 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 4/0 AWG insulated aluminum phase conductors, weather-resistant XLP insulation, and a heavy-duty bare 4/0 AWG steel-reinforced ACSR neutral messenger designed to handle maximum structural tension and environmental strain."

Key Features & Benefits: 4/0 Quadruplex Overhead Service Drop Cable

The 4/0-4/0-4/0-4/0 Appaloosa Quadruplex Cable is built for maximum-capacity 3-phase overhead secondary power distribution requiring a full-size neutral conductor to manage heavy unbalanced loads or strict utility requirements. Designed to span long overhead distances from pole transformers to building service entrances, it provides a sag-resistant, dependable solution for high-amp commercial power drops, outbuildings, and major temporary jobsite distribution.

By combining three 19-strand 1350-H19 series 4/0 AWG aluminum phase conductors with a heavy-duty 4/0 AWG ACSR neutral messenger, Appaloosa quadruplex delivers a 275-amp free-air capacity with 8,350 lbs of breaking strength. The heavy-duty 60-mil cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation offers long-lasting resistance against UV rays, freezing rain, and extreme weather 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 4/0 AWG 6/1 steel-reinforced ACSR bare neutral messenger delivering 8,350 lbs of breaking strength to prevent sagging and withstand severe wind and ice loads.

• 60-Mil Weather-Resistant XLP Insulation: Heavy-duty 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.
