61 00... Notes on handling wiring harnesses and cables
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The following applies 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 edge protection if necessary
- Secure additionally laid cables/leads with cable ties
The following additionally applies
Shielded cables
Joins in the shield can cause problems with regard to noise radiation and interference immunity. Consequently, distinctions have to be drawn between the following types:
Coaxial cable
- Shielded RTK031 coaxial lines may only be repaired with special crimping tools.
CVBS cables
- CVBS cables may not be repaired.
- CVBS cables must be replaced in their entirety.
HSD cables
- HSD cables may not be repaired.
- HSD cables must be replaced in their entirety.
Fibre-optic cables:
NOTE:
Fibre-optic cables are colored differently as follows:
- Green = MOST (M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) optical fibres
- Yellow = ISIS (I ntegrated S ervice I nformation S erver) fibre-optic cables
- Orange=repair fibre-optic cablesIMPORTANT:
- 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 °
TREATING CABLES AND FIBRE-OPTIC CABLES
FlexRay:
It is possible to repair the FlexRay. In the event of damage, the cables can be joined with conventional BUTT CONNECTORS .
NOTE:
- FlexRay lines may only reveal one separation point (bride); renew complete line if necessary.
- The cable is a twisted cable. If possible, maintain twisted cable after repair.
Airbag lines:
Ribbon cables:
