Farbundleitung

Farbundleitung is a German noun formed from Farbe (color), Bündel (bundle) and Leitung (line or conduit). It is not a standard term in core German technical vocabulary, and there is no single widely accepted definition. In practice, the phrase may appear in various fields with different intended meanings depending on context.

In color management and printing contexts, Farbundleitung may be used informally to describe the handling or transmission of multiple color channels (for example, the standard color channels used in printing) as a group through a processing pipeline. In this sense it resembles related but more precise expressions such as Farbdatenbündel or Farbkanäle, which specify bundled color data rather than a general concept.

In electrical engineering and cabling, a concept closely related to Farbundleitung is the Kabelbündel, a bundle of conductors often color coded for identification. Here the idea of Farbundleitung could refer to a bundle that uses color coding to identify individual lines within a single sheath, a common practice in control cabinets and automotive wiring. The term may be used loosely in such contexts to emphasize color-based organization of a cable bundle.

In digital media and computer graphics, the phrase could describe a workflow or data path that routes color information as a bundled set of value channels, though this usage is not standardized.

Because Farbundleitung is not an established term, its meaning depends on the source. When encountered, it is advisable to consult the accompanying documentation or author for the intended definition. See also: Farbkanal, Farbmanagement, Kabelbündel, Kabelkennzeichnung, Farbdaten.
