What warning tape color has the Common Ground Alliance (CGA) adopted for telecommunications and CATV cables?

Orange is the CGA/APWA-designated color for telecommunications lines, cable TV conduit, fiber optics, and alarm or signal lines. This standardized color coding system is used during excavation to alert workers to the presence of buried telecom infrastructure and prevent accidental damage or utility strikes.

Yellow is reserved for gas, oil, steam, petroleum, and other gaseous or flammable materials under the CGA color code.

White indicates proposed excavation limits or routes and is not assigned to any specific utility type.

Green designates sewers, storm drains, and other drain lines under the CGA/APWA color code system.

Red is assigned to electric power lines, cables, and conduit under the CGA uniform color code.
