Sold by the roll, this tape is a standard solution for utility marking in telecommunications and cable TV infrastructure installations. Weighing 4.71 pounds per roll, it offers an economical option for marking buried utility corridors.

This barricade tape is used in underground utility marking applications where cable TV lines must be identified before or during excavation. It is commonly installed below grade directly above buried cable runs at the time of installation.

Installation Notes

Buried barricade tape is typically installed by utility or telecommunications crews during conduit or direct-burial cable installation. The tape is placed in the trench above the cable run before backfilling, at a depth that will intercept excavation equipment before the line is reached. No special tools are required, but follow applicable local dig-safe codes and utility marking standards. Always verify the tape is positioned correctly above the cable before closing the trench.
