Aerial Bundled Cables (ABC) are overhead power distribution cables that consist of multiple insulated phase conductors bundled together. Unlike conventional bare conductor overhead lines, ABC cables are fully insulated, making them safer, more reliable, and easier to install.
These cables are widely used in urban and rural power distribution networks, especially in areas where underground cabling is not feasible.

Industries and Sectors We Serve
Why Choose Our ABC Cables?
With decades of experience in cable manufacturing, we ensure:
Used for power distribution up to 1.1kV in residential and rural areas. Typically consists of aluminum conductors with XLPE insulation and a neutral messenger.
Used for higher voltage applications up to 33kV, often for transmission from sub-stations to local distribution points.
The messenger wire (usually a galvanized steel wire or aluminum alloy) acts as a support and grounding conductor, allowing the cable to be suspended across long distances.
