61 00... Notes on handling optical fibres
2011 BMW 760LiSECTION 61 00... Notes on handling optical fibres
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage when handling optical fibres, comply with the following points:
- The minimum permitted bending radius is 25 mm
- Do not subject optical fibres to compressive and tensile load
- Protect optical fibres against the effects of heat ≥85 °C (e.g. during welding work, drying work with infrared beams or hot air blower)
- Fibre-optic cables are permitted to show only one junction point (bridge), replace fibre-optic cables if necessary
NOTE:
The optical fibres are colored differently as follows:
- Green = MOST (M edia O riented S ystems T ransport) optical fibre
- Yellow = ISIS (I ntelligent S afety and I ntegration S ystem) optical fibre
- Orange=repair fibre-optic cables
Follow notes for processing cables and optical fibres. See CUTTING OFF, STRIPPING INSULATION AND CUTTING OPTICAL FIBRES TO LENGTH and CRIMPING OPTICAL FIBRES .
