Why it works
Why lay this warning mesh
Clear fibre cable warning
Printed FIBRE OPTIC CABLE BELOW along the full length gives an unmistakable warning before anyone digs into a cable route.
Detectable underground
An integral steel wire runs the length of the mesh, so it shows up on a standard cable and pipe locator even once buried.
Withstands the excavator bucket
Perforated mesh stays intact and visible if the ground is disturbed or lifted during later works, rather than tearing away.
Rot resistant
HDPE construction holds up underground long after burial, unlike paper or fabric alternatives.
Overview
Detectable Mesh (Fibre Optic Cable) 200mm x 100m - Overview
This is a green HDPE warning mesh printed "FIBRE OPTIC CABLE BELOW", laid above a buried fibre optic cable during backfill. An integral steel wire runs through the mesh so it can be found with a standard locator, giving both a visual and a detectable warning before anyone digs into the cable.

Frequently asked questions
How is a buried fibre optic cable protected once this mesh is in place?
How is a buried fibre optic cable protected once this mesh is in place?
The mesh sits directly above the cable in the backfill, giving a printed visual warning and a built-in steel wire that shows up on a locator, so anyone excavating nearby is warned before they reach the fibre run.
What's the advantage of mesh over flat warning tape for fibre routes?
What's the advantage of mesh over flat warning tape for fibre routes?
Fibre networks are expensive to repair and slow to reinstate, so the perforated mesh construction is used because it holds together and stays visible even if the ground above is disturbed later, unlike flat tape which can tear away.
Where in the trench should this go?
Where in the trench should this go?
Place it in the backfill above the cable and below the finished surface, following your project's or the network operator's own depth specification for fibre routes.
Why is fibre optic mesh green rather than another colour?
Why is fibre optic mesh green rather than another colour?
Green marks fibre optic and telecoms cable routes on our underground range. We stock the equivalent mesh in other colours for electric, gas, water and sewer services.
What size roll do I get?
What size roll do I get?
One roll covers 100m of trench run, 200mm wide, enough for a continuous stretch of cable without joining lengths.
Is the mesh durable enough to stay effective for the life of the cable?
Is the mesh durable enough to stay effective for the life of the cable?
Yes, it's HDPE with an integral steel wire, rot resistant so it keeps working as a marker for as long as the fibre cable it protects remains buried.
Can this be lifted and reused on a different job?
Can this be lifted and reused on a different job?
No, it's meant to stay in place once laid as a permanent buried warning marker, not to be dug up and reused elsewhere.
