Why ITC Warning Tape Is Essential

Telecommunication cables positioned underground become the primary and the most important infrastructure of great value. The slightest of accidents can lead to:

  • Disruption to the communication channels
  • Monetary losses
  • Period of non-availability of service
  • Legal fines
  • Danger to the public

To a large extent ITC Warning Tape reduces all the risks mentioned above by:

  • Providing visual alerts
  • Showing clearly the routes of telecom cables
  • Helping to follow the telecom authority regulations
  • Extending the network safety period.

How ITC Warning Tape Is Used

  1. Trenching & Duct Installation
    Telecom ducts or micro-ducts are laid at the specified depth.

  2. Backfilling Layer
    Soil is partially backfilled above the duct.

  3. Warning Tape Placement
    ITC Warning Tape is laid horizontally 300–500 mm above the cable or duct.

  4. Final Backfilling
    Remaining soil is filled and compacted.

During any future excavation, the tape becomes visible before the cable is reached, allowing safe stoppage and identification.
