3M 407 Scotch Detectable Buried Barricade Tape, Fiber Optic Caution, 3 in x 1000 ft, Orange

3M's 407 Scotch Detectable Buried Barricade Tape is a heavy-duty underground warning tape engineered to alert excavators, contractors, and utility crews to the presence of buried fiber optic lines before digging begins.
