We verify connector compatibility ourselves (as of 2026-07-30). The statement describes the mechanical and electrical plug interface. It is not a warranty of further properties. Before installation, check the technical requirements of the drive system and the lighting. If unsure: use a specialist workshop.

Step by step

  1. Power down the drive and lighting. Check the drive and headlight manufacturers’ requirements.
  2. Connect the system plug to the Bosch Smart System (BES3). Plug designation per data sheet: Bosch Smart System (BES3) – CT1 plug 1300 mm.
  3. Seat the CT1B plug on the headlight with a CT1 or Higo Micro B compatible interface.
  4. Route the cable without tension, kinks or abrasion. Length: 1300 mm.
  5. Function-test per drive and light instructions. Consult a workshop if unsure.

Common mistakes

  • Wrong model year: this cable applies from model year 2022. Do not infer older systems from this article.
  • Headlight without a CT1 / Higo Micro B compatible plug: the CT1B light side will not match. Open ends or other connectors are different products.
  • Mixing workshop and single-pack EANs: same tech, different quantity and packaging.
