Overview

ABB RT3 red warning tape is a lightweight, rugged polyethylene product designed to mark the location of buried electrical cables. The tape measures 3 inches (76 mm) in width and 1000 feet (305 meters) in length, providing long rolls for efficient installation across large sites. The bright red color ensures high visibility for ground crews, reducing the risk of accidental cable strikes during excavation or maintenance. This tape is commonly used in utility, construction, and infrastructure projects where buried electrical infrastructure must be clearly identified. The polyethylene material resists moisture, UV exposure, and soil chemicals, maintaining its integrity over time. Each roll is labeled with the ABB brand and SKU RT3 for traceability. The tape meets industry standards for warning tape applications, including those specified for electrical cable marking. Install it directly above buried cables at a depth of 12-18 inches to provide a visual barrier and reduce the likelihood of accidental damage during subsequent digging operations.
