FAQ
Overhead Line Conductors — common questions
What are overhead line conductors?
Overhead line conductors for transmission, distribution, rail and utility infrastructure. They are built to IEC 61089, ASTM B232, EN conductor standards.
Which standards do overhead line conductors comply with?
UE Cable overhead line conductors are manufactured and tested to IEC 61089, ASTM B232, EN conductor standards. The exact standard for each construction is stated on its specification sheet.
What sizes and configurations are available?
5 construction families are catalogued under overhead line conductors, each offered across a range of conductor sizes and core or pair counts. Open any specification sheet for the exact conductor size, voltage, operating temperature, current rating, overall diameter and weight.
Can overhead line conductors be custom-made, and how fast is a quote?
Yes. UE Cable manufactures to customer specification — conductor, insulation, screen, armour, sheath, colour, printing and packing. Send your requirement through the inquiry list and we typically reply within 6 hours with price, lead time and test documentation.
