  • Detectable cable tape
    Patent number: 6737574
    Abstract: A detectable woven tape having multiple metallic conductors for use in detection of underground dielectric communications cable is provided. The tape provides low electrical resistance at a range of frequencies to help to permit detection of buried cable in different field conditions using commercially available detection equipment. In particular, the tape helps to provide detection of buried cable over a long distance or over a long span of conduit. The tape is lightweight and flexible and suited for use in detecting and installing fiber optic communications cable.
    Type: Grant

  • Detectable cable tape
    Publication number: 20040016566
    Abstract: A detectable woven tape having multiple metallic conductors for use in detection of underground dielectric communications cable is provided. The tape provides a highly functional low electrical resistance at a wide range of frequencies to help permit accurate and reliable detection of buried cable in different field conditions using commercially available detection equipment. In particular, the tape helps provide accurate and reliable detection of buried cable over a long distance or over a long span of conduit. The tape is lightweight and flexible and suited for use in detecting and installing fiber optic communications cable.
