3M 7000133184 Buried Barricade Tape Fiber Optic

Product Description

The 3M 7000133184 is a buried barricade tape from the Scotch Barricade Tapes 300 Series, designed to mark underground fiber optic lines. The tape is printed with bold, 2-inch black characters on a bright background, reading CAUTION BURIED FIBER OPTIC LINE BELOW, providing a high-visibility warning to anyone excavating near the installation. This product is used by telecom contractors, electrical crews, and utility workers during direct-bury applications to protect fiber optic infrastructure from accidental damage during future digging operations.

This tape is suited for residential and commercial utility installations where fiber optic lines are buried underground. It is applied during conduit or direct-bury cable installations and remains in the ground as a permanent warning marker above the cable run. Excavation crews, utility locators, and general contractors rely on this tape to identify the presence of fiber optic infrastructure before breaking ground.
