61 00... Notes on handling optical fibres

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW 435i xDrive, 2016 BMW 435i, 2016 BMW 428i xDrive, 2016 BMW 428i, and 2015 BMW 435i xDrive. 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  ( edia riented ystems Transport) optical fibre
  • Yellow = ISIS  ( ntelligent afety and ntegration ystem) optical fibre
  • Orange = repair fibre-optic cables

Follow notes for processing cables and optical fibres  . See 6113... CUTTING OFF, STRIPPING INSULATION AND CUTTING OPTICAL FIBRES TO LENGTH  and 6113... CRIMPING OPTICAL FIBRES .
