61 00 ... - Notes on handling wiring harnesses and cables





In general:
To avoid damage, observe the following instructions:
- Avoid compressive and tensile loads
- Make sure cables are laid without kinks or abrasions
- Ensure non-contacting routing at sharp-edged body parts; use muckets if necessary
- Secure additionally laid cables/leads with cable ties
In addition:
Shielded cables (coaxial cables):

Important!
Shielded cables must not be repaired!

- This may lead to indifferences in noise radiation and interference immunity at contact points in the shield
- To satisfy the requirements of the type approval, it is essential to replace shielded cables completely
Fiber-optic cables:

Note:
Fiber-optic cables are colored differently as follows:

- Green = MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) fiber-optic cables
- Yellow = ISIS (Integrated Service Information Server) fiber-optic cables
- Orange = Repair fiber-optic cables

Important!
- Fiber-optic cables are permitted to show only one junction point (bridge), replace fiber-optic cables if necessary
- Smallest permissible bending radius is 25 mm
- Avoid effects of heat ≥ 85 °
