Rubber tapes repel moisture and are a great solution for outdoor applications or in manholes where water may occasionally seep in.

Alternatives to electrical tape include heat shrink tubing and wire connectors. Heat shrink tubing is usually used for applications with lower gauge wiring, such as smaller electrical circuits, and wire connectors are used at the ends of stripped wires. Other types of adhesive tape should not be used as a substitute for electrical tape as they will not have the thermal efficiency of a dedicated electrical tape and can therefore be unsafe to use in such situations.
