Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Triplex cable is typically used for residential service drops, as it has three conductors (two insulated and one bare) that can handle the 120/240-volt service. Quadruplex cable has four conductors and is used for higher voltage services. Romex and UF cable are typically used for indoor wiring and not for service drops.
