Why it works
Why lay this tape
Highly visible
Bright green film with bold black print stands out clearly when a trench is reopened, giving diggers an early warning.
Detectable underground
An embedded tracer wire means the tape's route can be traced with a standard cable or pipe locator before digging reaches the communications cable.
Rot resistant
LDPE film withstands rot and ground moisture, keeping the tape's warning legible for the working life of the buried cable.
Colour-coded for telecoms
Green marks telecoms and communications routes across the utilities sector, so crews recognise the service without checking a drawing.
Overview
Detectable Underground Warning Tape (Communications) 150mm x 100m - Overview
This is a green detectable underground tape printed "CAUTION COMMUNICATIONS CABLE", laid above a buried communications cable during backfill to warn anyone digging later, with an embedded tracer wire so it can also be located with a cable or pipe locator.

Frequently asked questions
How is this tape traced once it's underground?
How is this tape traced once it's underground?
It has an embedded tracer wire running the full length of the roll, so a standard cable or pipe locator will pick it up even once it's buried.
Where should this sit in the trench?
Where should this sit in the trench?
Lay it in the backfill above the communications cable, before the final surface layer, so it's the first thing found if the trench is ever reopened. Check your project's or the network operator's own depth requirement.
Is green always used for communications cables?
Is green always used for communications cables?
Green is the standard colour for telecoms and communications routes in the UK utilities sector. We also stock this tape in other colours for gas, water, electric and other underground services.

Can this tape be dug up and reused?

No. It's meant to be laid once during backfill and left in place as a permanent underground marker.
Will this work for any communications network, or a specific provider's spec?
Will this work for any communications network, or a specific provider's spec?
It's a general-purpose detectable warning tape for communications and data cable routes. It isn't tied to any single network operator's specification, so check that against your own project requirements.
