How to Install Channeltape™ Utility Identification Sleeve

In this video, S&N Infrastructure demonstrates the installation process for Channeltape™, including preparing the sleeve, pulling fiber optic cable through the preloaded pull tape, installing optional tracer wire, and placing the product for temporary and permanent use. Channeltape™ Utility Identification Sleeve is designed to help identify and protect fiber optic cable installations while reducing the risk of accidental damage. The sleeve provides a highly visible alternative to exposed cable for temporary fiber drops and can remain in place when the cable is later installed underground using open trench or vibratory plow methods.
