Bare Transmission & Distribution Cable

AAAC-6201
All Aluminum Alloy Conductor. Bare.

APPLICATIONS
Used as bare overhead conductor for primary and secondary distribution.
Designed utilizing a high-strength aluminum alloy to achieve a high strength-toweight ratio; affords better sag characteristics. Aluminum alloy gives AAAC-6201
higher resistance to corrosion than ACSR.
SPECIFICATIONS
Southwire's AAAC-6201 bare conductor meets or exceeds the following ASTM
specifications:
B-398 Aluminum-Alloy 6201-T81 Wire for Electrical Purposes.
B-399 Concentric-Lay-Stranded 6201-T81 Aluminum Alloy Conductors.
CONSTRUCTION
Aluminum alloy 6201 wires, concentrically stranded.
