Communications Cable Locating

Quickly pinpoint the location of buried facilities with the 3M™ Electronic Marker System (EMS) for Cable TV and 3M™ Electronic Marker System (EMS) for Telephone. Using 3M EMS markers during construction, installation and maintenance virtually eliminates the time consuming search for hard-to-locate facilities. Markers used for communications location are color-coded to APWA standards for visual reference and have their own frequency, helping reduce the risk of accidentally locating and excavating other buried facilities. For communications utilities, all telephone locator markers are orange and CATV markers are orange/black.

3M EMS telecom cable locator series can be used to locate:

Buried splices of all types
Buried service drops
Bends: changes of direction, arcs
Depth changes: lateral deflection
Fiber optic facilities with no metallic conductor
Encasement ends: conduit ends of horizontally directional drilled facilities
Manhole covers
Crossings: Water, road and rail
