Why it works
Why lay this warning tape
Highly visible
Bright green film with bold black print stands out clearly when a trench is opened, giving diggers immediate warning.
Clear cable identification
Printed CAUTION TELEPHONE CABLE BELOW along the full length leaves no doubt about what lies beneath.
Full-length roll
Each roll runs 365m, enough to mark long cable runs without joining multiple rolls together.
Simple to lay
Unrolls straight from the trench side with no tools or fixings needed, just lay it in the backfill above the cable.

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, we also stock a detectable version of this exact telephone cable tape with a tracer wire built in.
Why is telephone cable tape green rather than another colour?
Why is telephone cable tape green rather than another colour?
Green is the colour used across the telecoms sector to mark cable routes, in line with the same colour-coding conventions used for gas, water and electric services.
How deep should I lay it above the cable?
How deep should I lay it above the cable?
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.
How long is each roll?
How long is each roll?
Each roll is 365m long and 150mm wide, enough to mark most cable runs from a single roll without a join.
What is the tape made from?
What is the tape made from?
LDPE (low-density polyethylene) film - a light, flexible plastic tape rather than a fabric or foil.
Can this tape be reused once dug up?
Can this tape be reused once dug up?
No, it's designed to be laid once in the backfill and stay buried as a permanent warning marker.
Does this tape suit both BT/Openreach and private telecoms cable runs?
Does this tape suit both BT/Openreach and private telecoms cable runs?
Yes, the tape and its CAUTION TELEPHONE CABLE BELOW print are generic to telephone cable routes and are not tied to a specific network operator.
