While we are on an 🟠 kick..
Meet tracer wire—the underground utility world's version of GPS and the underground utility world's way of saying, "Don't lose me!"
Since fiber optic cable and non-metallic conduit can't be located on its own, tracer wire (which is a copper wire coated with a plastic/poly sheathing) tags along so future crews know exactly where everything is buried.🚧
Think of it as leaving breadcrumbs... except these breadcrumbs help prevent excavators from finding your fiber the hard way.
