Installing Optical Contacts On Socket Side

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.

Remove the dust boot right before plugging.
Check the proper condition of the contact.
At a force of 10 N (7.5 ft.lb) the springs installed in the joint will be pressed together. This leads to an increase in attenuation, which could lead to system impairment and system failure. Therefore, a maximum of 10 N (7.5 ft.lb) can be used to pull the LWL from the joint.

Insert the optical contacts -B- and -A- in the module until it engages audibly. See Fig 1 . Check the optical contacts for tightness.
