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 muckets if necessary
- Secure additionally laid cables/leads with cable ties
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
