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

In general: 

To avoid damage, observe the following instructions:

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

Fibre-optic cables: 

NOTE: Fibre-optic cables are colored differently as follows:
  • Green = MOST  (M  edia O  riented S  ystems T  ransport) fibreoptic cables
  • Yellow = ISIS  (I  ntegrated S  ervice and I  nformation S  erver) fibre-optic cables
  • Orange=repair fibre-optic cables
IMPORTANT:
  • Fibre-optic cables are permitted to show only one junction point (bridge), replace fibre-optic cables if necessary
  • Smallest permissible bending radius is 25 mm
  • Avoid effects of heat ≥ 85°
