Why it works
Why lay this warning tape
Highly visible
Bright green film with bold black print stands out clearly the moment a trench is reopened.
Clear fibre hazard warning
Printed CAUTION FIBRE OPTIC 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.
Simple to lay
Rolls out by hand directly into the backfill, no tools or fixings needed.

This is a green underground warning tape printed "CAUTION FIBRE OPTIC CABLE BELOW", laid above a buried fibre optic cable during backfill to warn anyone digging later that a cable runs beneath. Supplied as a 150mm wide, 365m roll.

Frequently asked questions
Will this tape show up on a cable locator or detection wand?
Will this tape show up on a cable locator or detection wand?
No - this is a printed warning tape with no built-in trace wire. If you need a fibre route to register on a locator, ask us about our detectable underground tape range instead.
At what depth in the trench should this go?
At what depth in the trench should this go?
Lay it in the backfill above the cable, ahead of the final surface layer, so it's the first thing anyone sees if the trench is reopened. Follow your project's or the network operator's own depth specification.
Why green and not another colour?
Why green and not another colour?
Green is the colour convention used to mark telecoms and fibre optic cable routes, so crews can identify the service at a glance. We also stock this tape in other colours for electric, water and gas services.
What should I switch to once I've found this tape while digging?
What should I switch to once I've found this tape while digging?
Move to hand digging with insulated tools rated to BS8020 rather than continuing with a mechanical digger, to avoid striking the fibre cable beneath.
Do I need to join multiple rolls to cover a long run?
Do I need to join multiple rolls to cover a long run?
Each roll is 365m, so most fibre routes can be marked from a single roll without a join.
What's the tape actually made from?
What's the tape actually 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 this go anywhere other than directly in the trench?
Can this go anywhere other than directly in the trench?
It's designed for underground use only, laid in the backfill. For above-ground barrier or hazard marking, see our general-purpose barrier tape range instead.
