The ProTapes Cable Path gaffer's tape is yellow with black "Cable Path" text; measures 11 mil thick, 4" wide, and 30 yd. long; and is made from vinyl-coated cloth that has a rubber adhesive on each edge of one side and a smooth, nonstick area between the edges to advance cable and wire. The tape, also known as gaffer or gaffers' tape, conforms well to irregular surfaces, has low light reflectivity, and removes cleanly without residue from most surfaces. It resists abrasion and can be torn by hand. The tape can be used outdoors and withstands temperatures from 50 to 200 degrees F. Tensile strength is 45 lb. per inch.
