RUS aerial drop uses which PE standard?

RUS PE standards identify polyethylene-insulated cables for different installation scenarios. For an aerial service drop from a pole to a customer, the standard most commonly used is PE7. This designation specifies a cable construction and rating appropriate for outdoor aerial use, with the insulation, jacket, and voltage characteristics suited to being exposed to weather, UV, and the mechanical needs of an aerial run. The other PE standards correspond to different cable types or installation environments, so they aren’t the standard choice for an aerial drop.
