Aerial Bundle Cable (ABC) 6.35/11kV – Medium Voltage Overhead Distribution Cable | IEC 60502-2
Product Overview
The Aerial Bundle Cable (ABC) 6.35/11kV is a medium voltage overhead distribution cable designed for reliable and safe power transmission in 11kV class networks. Manufactured in strict accordance with IEC 60502-2, this cable features XLPE insulated phase conductors twisted together, offering significant advantages over traditional bare overhead conductors.
Unlike bare conductors, the aerial bundled construction minimizes the risk of phase-to-phase faults caused by tree branches, animals, or conductor clashing. It also reduces power outages, improves public safety, and lowers maintenance costs – making it the preferred choice for utilities, rural electrification, and renewable energy projects worldwide.
Voltage rating: 6.35/11kV (U₀/U)
Standard: IEC 60502-2
Construction: Aerial bundled – insulated phase conductors twisted (with or without messenger)
Conductor material: Aluminum (AAAC or AAC)
Insulation: XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) – UV resistant

Q: What does ABC stand for?
A: ABC stands for Aerial Bundle Cable – a type of overhead cable where insulated phase conductors are twisted together, offering improved safety and reliability compared to bare conductors.
Q: What is the voltage rating of this ABC cable?
A: This cable is rated at 6.35/11kV (U₀/U), suitable for medium voltage overhead distribution networks.
Q: What is the difference between ABC and bare overhead conductors?
A: ABC cables have insulated phase conductors twisted together, preventing phase-to-phase contact from tree branches, animals, or conductor clashing. Bare conductors have no insulation and are more prone to faults.
Q: Can this cable be installed without a messenger wire?
A: Yes, many MV ABC cables are self-supporting for short to medium spans (up to 60 meters). For longer spans or areas with heavy ice/wind loads, a separate messenger wire is recommended.
Q: Is the cable UV resistant for outdoor use?
A: Yes, the XLPE insulation is UV stabilized for long-term outdoor overhead exposure.
Q: Do you provide free samples?
A: Yes, we provide free samples of MV ABC cable. The customer is only responsible for the shipping cost.
Q: Can you provide MTC and COC for this cable?
A: Yes, we provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC) and Certificates of Conformance (COC) with every shipment. Sample documents can be provided for your technical team to review.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: MOQ depends on the conductor size. For standard sizes like 3×70mm² or 3×95mm², we accept orders as low as 500 meters for trial purposes.
