The invention discloses Al-Fe-Mg-Zr aluminum alloy used for coal mine cables. The Al-Fe-Mg-Zr aluminum alloy comprises 0.2 percent-1.1 percent of Fe, 0.01 percent-0.4 percent of Mg, 0.001 percent-0.2 percent of Zr, 0 percent-0.1 percent of Si, 0 percent-0.2 percent of B and the balance being Al and impurities, wherein the resistivity of the aluminum alloy is not larger than 0.028164 omega*mm<2> / m, the elongation at break is not lower than 10 percent, and ninety-degree fatigue bending frequency is larger than or equal to thirty. The aluminum alloy material is smelted, cast and rolled, so that an aluminum alloy rod is obtained; afterwards, the aluminum alloy rod is subjected to pulling, bunch stranding and softening, so that an aluminum alloy cable core is formed; next, the cable core is subjected to extruded insulation, cabling, sheath extrusion or armoring, so that an aluminum alloy cable is manufactured. The manufactured aluminum alloy cable has the advantages of being high in strength, high in electric conductivity, good in bending performance and the like, and therefore the requirements for cable performance in the field of coal mines can be satisfied.
