CAN Bus Wires

• Unshielded two-strand wiring - 1 - and - 2 - with a cross section of 0.35 mm2 or 0.5 mm2can be used as CAN-Bus wiring.





• The color coding of CAN-Bus wires can be found in the following table:





• Repairs on CAN-Bus wires can be performed with repair wire with matching cross section and also with twisted wires green/yellow or white/yellow.

• When repairing Bus leads, both wires must be of the same length. When twisting together wires - 1 - and - 2 -, length of lay of A = 20 mm must be observed.

• While doing this, no section of the wire, e.g. in area of crimp connectors - arrow -, may be greater than B = 50 mm without twisting of the wires.

• Wrap repair points with yellow adhesive tape to mark a performed repair.
