CAN Bus Wires, Repairing

Unshielded two-strand wiring - 1 - and - 2 - with a cross section of 0.35 mm2 or 0.5 mm2 can be used as CAN-Bus wiring.






The color coding of CAN-Bus wires can be found in the following table:






Repairs on CAN-Bus wires can be performed with repair wire with matching cross section and also with twisted wires "green/yellow" or "white/yellow" from Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA).

When repairing Bus leads, both wires must be of the same length. When twisting together wires - 1 - and - 2 -, length of lay of A = 20 mm must be observed.

While doing this, no section of the wire, for example, in area of crimp connectors - arrow -, may be greater than B = 50 mm without twisting of the wires.

Wrap repair points with yellow adhesive tape to mark a performed repair.
