Bright yellow film with bold black print stands out clearly the moment a trench is reopened.
Clear electric hazard warning
Printed CAUTION ELECTRIC CABLE BELOW along the full length gives an unmistakable warning before anyone digs into a cable route.
Full-length roll
Each roll runs 365m, enough to mark long cable runs without joining multiple rolls together.

Frequently asked questions
Does this tape have a metal trace wire for detection?
Does this tape have a metal trace wire for detection?
No, this is a standard warning tape without a built-in detection wire. If you need a tape that shows up on a cable locator, ask us about our detectable underground tape range instead.
How deep should I bury it?
How deep should I bury it?
Lay it in the backfill above the cable, before 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 yellow?
Why is this tape yellow?
Yellow is the colour used across the utilities sector to mark electric cable routes, so crews can identify the service at a glance. We also stock this tape in other colours for water, gas and other underground services.
What tools should I use when digging near a marked electric cable?
What tools should I use when digging near a marked electric cable?
Once this tape is found, switch to hand digging with insulated tools rated to BS8020 rather than continuing with a mechanical digger, to reduce the risk of striking a live cable.
How long is each roll and can I join two together?
How long is each roll and can I join two together?
Each roll is 365m long, so most cable runs can be marked from a single roll without a join.
What is the tape made from?
What is the tape made from?
LDPE (low-density polyethylene) film, chosen for its strength and tear resistance when pulled from the roll and laid in a trench.
Can I use this tape above ground?
Can I use this tape above ground?
It's designed for underground use. For above-ground barrier or hazard marking, see our general-purpose barrier tape range instead.
