Aerial Network Cables

Aerial network cables are designed for outdoor use and open environments, typically installed along overhead routes between poles or buildings. These cables are primarily made of aluminum and are structurally divided into two main categories: bare‑conductor aerial cables and covered‑conductor aerial cables. Each type is used in urban and rural power distribution networks depending on environmental conditions and required safety levels.

Covered Aluminum Overhead Conductors - CC, CCT

Covered Aluminum Overhead Conductors

CC, CCT

Application   

  • CC : These cables are suitable for the distribution of electrical energy in low and medium voltage lines from 1 to 33 kV.
  • ACSR : These cables are suitable for the distribution of electrical energy in medium and high voltage lines where the distance between poles is long.
 

Structure   

  • Conductor: Alloy aluminum (AAAC) or hard-drawn aluminum stranded around central steel wires (ACSR).
  • Insulation: Black cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) compound with a thickness of 3 mm for all CC sizes, 5.5 mm for all CCT 20 kV sizes, and 8 mm for all CCT 33 kV sizes.
  • Outer sheath: Black cross-linked polyethylene (HDPE) compound containing 2.5 to 3% carbon black to increase UV resistance, with a thickness of 0.8 mm for all CCT sizes.
