Frequently asked questions
Does this tape include a detection wire?
Does this tape include a detection wire?
No - this is a printed warning tape without a metal trace element, so a cable locator will not pick it up. If you need a tape that shows up on a locator, our detectable underground tape range covers that.
Is this tape suitable for any communications provider's cable, or just one network?
Is this tape suitable for any communications provider's cable, or just one network?
It is a generic communications warning tape, not tied to a specific network operator, so it is suitable for laying above any buried comms, data or telephone cable.
What if there's a power cable in the same trench as the comms cable?
What if there's a power cable in the same trench as the comms cable?
Lay a separate length of the correctly coloured tape above each service - yellow for electric, green for communications - rather than relying on one tape to cover both.
How deep in the backfill should it sit?
How deep in the backfill should it sit?
Lay it above the cable, below the final surface layer, so it's the first thing found if the trench is reopened. Follow your project's or the network operator's own depth specification.
Why is this tape green?
Why is this tape green?
Green is the colour used across the utilities sector to mark communications cable routes. We stock the same tape printed for electric, water, gas and other services in their own standard colours.
Will one roll cover a typical cable run?
Will one roll cover a typical cable run?
Each roll is 365m, enough for most runs from a single length without needing to join two rolls.
What is the tape made from?
What is the tape made from?
LDPE (low-density polyethylene) film - a durable, flexible plastic tape rather than a fabric or foil.
