Protective dust caps

Protective dust cap for optical contacts: 

• If an optical waveguide is stored, transported or installed in a vehicle, the protective dust cap most only be removed immediately before use in the plug.
• The protective dust cap must be replaced after every test of an optical waveguide.

The protective dust caps can be removed without actuating a lock.

• During or after removal of the protective dust cap, do not touch the exposed contact surfaces, because otherwise the optical contacts may be damaged or soiled.

Protective dust cap for plug (wiring harness side): 

If a ready-made wiring harness is installed, protective dust caps are already present on the plug for the optical waveguide.

By actuating the lock -arrow-  , the protective dust cap can be pulled off.
