3M Underground Cable Warning Tape 150 mm x 250 m Yellow/Black “Caution Cable” (DE999960482)

This 3M warning tape is built specifically for underground cable marking, with a bold black-on-yellow "Caution Cable" print that stays legible after years in the soil. Unlike generic marking tapes, it combines a 250-metre roll length with 150 mm width, reducing the number of splices needed on long trench runs.

Highlights

• Polyethylene construction resists rot, acids, alkalis, and common soil chemicals
• UV-stabilised for long-term outdoor burial without fading or embrittlement
• Meets DIN EN 12613 for underground warning tape performance
• 150 mm width gives high visibility when uncovered during excavation

In daily use

Lay the tape directly above buried power or telecommunication cables at the recommended depth. The 76 mm core fits standard dispensing reels, and the tape remains flexible from -20°C to +50°C, so it can be installed in cold or hot conditions without tearing.
