The invention provides an overhead bare stranded wire easy to recognize. The overhead bare stranded wire comprises an inner layer stranded wire body and outer layer stranded wire bodies, wherein the outside of the inner layer stranded wire body is lapped or longitudinally wrapped by a layer of metal foil, and perpetual recognition markings are arranged on the metal foil. The inner layer stranded wire body and the outer layer stranded wire bodies are formed by single wires in a stranding mode, and the single wires are round conductors or tile-shaped, or arch-shaped, or fan-shaped, or Z-type or hollow-circle shaped wire conductors. The material of the metal foil is the same as that of the outer layer stranded wire bodies or the adjacent inner layer stranded wire body. The metal foil with the perpetual recognition markings is arranged between the inner layer stranded wire body and the outmost layer stranded wire body, the recognition markings are easy to machine, not prone to erasure and free of damage to the surfaces of the conductors, in this way, specifications, types and technical parameters of products can be effectively recognized, and mixed usage will not be caused; a manufacturing factory can be effectively recognized, quality tracing is facilitated, and the overhead bare stranded wire easy to recognize is beneficial to circulation.
