Dust Boot For Optical Contacts:

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If a LWL is stored, transporated, or installed in a vehicle, then the dust boot must only be removed right before the LWL is used in the connector.
When testing the LWL, the dust boot must be put back on.
The dust boots can be removed without the use of a locking mechanism.
Do not touch the exposed contact surfaces while or after removing the dust boot, as otherwise the optical contact could become damaged or dirty.
