Hmm, I haven't considered that. I was looking at the Southwire SE cable that *IS* UL listed:
Overhead wire for feeder.

One of us is not understanding the other. My scenario grounded and grounding conductors would both be same length, but only connected together at the source, Just like we usually do with separately derived systems.

So the one that I linked is not a Quad type? I know the spec sheet calls it a 4 Conductor, but I thought it was synonymous with Quad. The OP didn't state it was that wire specifically, so if it is to be brought into a building then specifying the one I posted would work?

That can be run in and on buildings. Is not intended to be self supporting for overhead runs though. Most anything that is intended to be self supporting doesn't have conductor insulation listed for use indoors, many not listed at all.

Ah, I expected a separate service drop support would need to be run with the Quad cable, as a self supporting cable could strain the splice.

The bare conductor has a steel strand for support and uses hanger fittings to grip that bare conductor at each end support. The insulated conductors are twisted around the bare conductor and the bare conductor with it's steel reinforcement strand supports the entire assembly. Is only intended for overhead use.
