61 00... Notes on handling optical fibres
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 61 13... CUTTING OFF, STRIPPING INSULATION AND CUTTING OPTICAL FIBRES TO LENGTH or 61 13... CRIMPING OPTICAL FIBRES .
