1/0 Costena Aluminum Quadruplex Overhead Service Drop Cable
1/0 Costena Aluminum Conductor Quadruplex Overhead Service Drop Cable is a heavy-duty, weather-resistant cable designed for supplying 3-phase electrical power from utility pole-mounted transformers directly to a customer’s service entrance. Engineered for voltages of 600V or less, it is ideal for both rural and urban overhead service drop applications. The cable features three phase conductors made of stranded or compressed 1350-H19 aluminum, paired with a bare ACSR neutral messenger conductor that serves as both the ground and mechanical support. Optional messenger materials include AAC or 6201-T81 aluminum alloy, offering flexibility based on mechanical and environmental requirements. Each conductor is insulated with black cross-linked polyethylene (XLP), providing superior protection against heat, sunlight, and environmental wear. The cable supports operation at temperatures up to 90°C for XLP insulation or 75°C for polyethylene.

Raw Material Test
NPC has always chosen raw material suppliers who have a good reputation, possess stable supply capabilities and have passed international quality system certifications (such as ISO 9001). And establish a long-term cooperative relationship with it, forming a stable and reliable raw material supply chain.
We will ensure that all raw materials are subject to strict inspection procedures upon entry to the factory, and can only be stored in the warehouse after they have been confirmed to meet the standards.
Process inspection
NPC has strict quality control procedures for each process in the cable production process.
Process documents: Develop detailed process flow and operation instructions to clarify the operating specifications and quality standards of each process.
Equipment calibration: Regularly calibrate key equipment such as wire drawing machines, stranding machines, extruders, and diameter gauges to ensure that the accuracy meets the requirements.
First piece confirmation: Before each batch of production, the first piece is trial-produced to confirm that the process parameters, product dimensions, electrical performance, etc. meet the standards before mass production can be carried out.
Finished Product
Inspectors conduct ex-factory inspections on cables according to relevant standards and corresponding product inspection specifications to ensure that each ex-factory product complies with the process regulations.
