  • Warning tape “Caution Cable” | 250mm | yellow/black | 2005045156635

    Code: 56635
    Barcode: 2005045156635

    Warning tape “Caution Cable” – yellow and black warning tape designed for marking underground electrical cable routes and warning of cables located below ground. The 250 mm wide tape helps clearly identify cable zones during excavation or other groundworks.

  • Warning tape “CAUTION CABLE” | 250 mm | polyethylene | yellow/black | 1 m | 2005045156635

    Yellow warning tape with black “CAUTION CABLE” marking, intended for warning identification of underground electrical cables and cable routes. Tape width – 250 mm, material – polyethylene. It is installed above the cable route as a visual warning of electrical infrastructure located deeper below. Sales unit – 1 m.

    Key point

    The tape is intended to identify the location of an underground cable route and warn about an electrical cable located deeper below during future excavation work. It is a warning and identification element, not mechanical cable protection.

    Operating principle

    The warning tape is installed above an underground cable or cable route. During future excavation work, it should be encountered before the cable itself is reached, serving as a visual indication that electrical infrastructure is located deeper below.

    The yellow colour and black “CAUTION CABLE” text make the warning purpose easy to recognise when the tape is uncovered during excavation. The tape itself does not protect the cable against a shovel, excavator or other mechanical impact.

    Why use a 250 mm wide tape?

    The 250 mm wide tape forms a clearly visible warning marking above the cable route. The correct tape position, installation level and layout should be selected according to the project and applicable electrical cable installation requirements.

    Important: dimensions and sales unit

    250 mm is the tape width. The sales unit is 1 metre, so the required quantity is selected according to the cable route length. The total roll length is not specified here.

    How does warning tape differ from mechanical cable protection?

    The purpose of warning tape is to identify the cable route and alert personnel carrying out excavation work that an electrical cable is located deeper below.

    It does not replace a cable protection conduit, cable protection plate, mechanical cover or other protective measure where such protection is required by the project or installation requirements.

    Important distinction

    The tape warns about the cable route but is not a structural or mechanical cable protection element.

    Main functions

    • Identification of underground electrical cable routes.
    • Visual warning of a cable located deeper below.
    • Clear “CAUTION CABLE” marking.
    • 250 mm wide tape for clearly visible warning identification.
    • Yellow / black colour combination for quick recognition.
    • Used when installing underground electrical cable routes and related works.
    • Sales unit – 1 m.

    Where is it used?

    • For marking underground electrical cable routes.
    • Along cable entry routes.
    • In site electrical networks.
    • Along industrial cable routes.
    • In external electrical networks of buildings.
    • For cable lines installed during reconstruction work.
    • Wherever the project specifies warning marking of underground electrical cables.

    Use by requirement

    For electricians
    Used to clearly identify an underground cable route and warn about an electrical cable located deeper below.
    For cable installers
    Practical when installing new underground cable lines where warning route marking is specified in the project.
    For maintenance and repair work
    Helps future excavation teams recognise in time that an underground electrical cable route is present in the work area.

    Correct installation principle

    1. Install the underground cable or cable route according to the project and applicable installation requirements.
    2. Backfill the cable to the level specified in the project.
    3. Install the warning tape above the cable route.
    4. Unless otherwise specified by the project, install the tape continuously above the marked cable route.
    5. Lay the tape so that it follows the cable route as accurately as possible.
    6. The tape should be installed so that its warning purpose is clearly recognisable when uncovered during excavation.
    7. Determine the vertical distance between the cable and tape according to the project and applicable installation requirements.
    8. If additional mechanical cable protection is specified, the warning tape does not replace it.
    Why is no specific installation depth stated?

    The position of the cable and warning tape depends on the project, cable route type, site conditions and applicable installation requirements. Therefore, one universal installation depth should not be assigned to this product.

    Practical scenario

    An underground electrical cable is installed from a building to a separate piece of equipment. The cable is laid according to the project and backfilled to the specified level. “CAUTION CABLE” tape is installed continuously above the route unless the project specifies otherwise. During future excavation, the warning tape is encountered first and indicates that an electrical cable is located deeper below.

    Advantages

    • Clear “CAUTION CABLE” marking.
    • 250 mm width for clearly visible identification.
    • Yellow / black colour for quick visual recognition.
    • Designed for identifying underground electrical cable routes.
    • Simple and clear installation principle.
    • Sales unit – 1 m, allowing quantity to be selected by route length.

    Limitations

    • The tape is not mechanical cable protection.
    • It does not replace a conduit, protection plate or other required protective element.
    • Installation position must be determined according to the project and applicable requirements.
    • Total roll length is not specified here.
    • Tape thickness is not stated without confirmed data for this exact product.
    • UV resistance, temperature range and mechanical strength are not stated without confirmed technical documentation.

    Safety and installation notes

    • Use the tape as warning route marking, not as mechanical cable protection.
    • Install the cable route and warning tape according to the project.
    • Do not select installation depth based only on generic examples; follow the requirements for the specific site.
    • Where mechanical protection is required, use the protective measures specified in the project.
    • The tape should follow the cable route as accurately as possible.
    • During later excavation, a detected warning tape should be treated as an indication that an electrical cable is located deeper below.

    Quick selection guide

    “CAUTION CABLE” | 250 mm | polyethylene | yellow/black | 1 m | 2005045156635
    Suitable when you need: to identify an underground electrical cable route and leave a clear warning for future excavation work.
    Check before use: project requirements, tape position above the route, required quantity according to route length and whether additional mechanical cable protection is required.
    Important reminder: the tape warns about the cable route but does not protect the cable itself against mechanical damage.
